Teachers and students frequently ask me to buy the latest book in a series, or start buying a new series, and when they ask me in the hallway, it's hard to remember to capture that information! I would love if there were a form they could fill out electronically. It would also provide excellent data for my annual evaluation about student engagement with the library program. <div><br></div><div>Meredith Riddle</div><div>District Librarian</div><div>Cerro Gordo CUSD #100</div></div>
