If the book is questionable for the student requesting it I print out a description of the content and its recommended age levels. I have the student take that sheet home and get a parent's signature. My condition for other "older" books in the elementary library is for the student to be at least in 5th grade. The type of YA materials we have in our collection usually linger around the Hunger Games and Maximum Ride status as far as "mature" content is concerned.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Renee Brown<div><i>School Library Media Specialist</i></div><div><i>Learn and Serve Team Coordinator</i></div><div>Atwood-Hammond Elementary School<br></div><div>217-578-2229</div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://ismir2017.smcnus.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/illinois.png" alt="Image result for school of information sciences" width="200" height="43"><br></div></div></div></div></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><b> (Class of 2011)</b></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote></blockquote><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
