<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Honestly, I love the idea of a fiction room and a non-fic room. I agree this would let kids browse up and below reading levels with ease and might help kids when learning to differentiate between fiction and non-fiction needs and options.
Although I am a high school librarian, I have my library set up sort of in this style too.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also am a mom of a 10 year old and six year old voracious readers who love browsing. The older prefers to look for things that are deemed older (I think he think its cool as well as suited to his tastes) and the younger likes books targeted
to his age and grade but also the nostalgia of younger stuff that makes him happy. If they attended your school, having the books separated this way would suit them both and encourage them to explore their curiosities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I totally understand the idea of a younger library and older kids library and that too has merit. But this idea of fic and non fic libraries is really cool.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Just my two cents.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning collective minds!<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a building in my district that currently has a primary library and an intermediate library due to space constraints. We have the opportunity to move the primary right next to the intermediate (yes, it was down the hall before) with
a connecting door. YEAH! However, the principal would now like us to make it into a nonfiction room and a fiction room. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">My main concern is behavior management. We have issues with behaviors in this particular building and separating the teacher and the library assistant, who will be busy checking out books, is a concern. But secondly, I would still keep
a primary fiction section and primary nonfiction section.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">This was sent out to the teachers after I convinced him to do a survey. This was written by a teacher.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Creating a self-esteem safe library spaces for students should be the focus. Students in grade 3-5 do not always read at grade level and it is very difficult for them to go select
a book that is at their level. A big part of their hesitation is peer reaction to low level books and another is the pressure they feel to actually tell us they need a low level book. Creating a fiction/nonfiction library helps to eliminate the stigma students
have towards reading (at a lower level) and it will help normalize the fact that reading level abilities vary. In the years I have been an educator I have seen how reluctant students are to choose wisely (in terms of book check out) because of the shame they
feel in selecting a book below grade level.</span></i> <br clear="all">
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am very offended and hurt that they think we would ever make our students feel shame for their reading level. We have tried very hard to increase our hi/low book collection and they are shelved with the main collection to keep this from
happening. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there anyone else that has two rooms set up this way? Do you all have your primary fiction books (picture books, beginning readers, early chapter books) mixed in with the intermediate chapter books? Am I looking at this wrong? I still
feel I need to have a separation between the two age ranges. Suggestions? Thoughts? <o:p></o:p></p>
