<div dir="ltr">Back in the day, when we preselected books for our kindergarteners, I would often ask them what kinds of books they would like next week. They always had ideas! So I would write them down and made sure I had those books next week. And it usually worked because they asked for them. Not specific books, but topics like ballet or baseball. <div><br></div><div>We currently use a google form for our menu, and it works very well. I pull books for my remote kids right off the screen and highlight each line as I fill the order, so I can see where I left off.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 3:01 PM Meredith Riddle via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hello librarian friends,</div><div><br></div><div>For those of you bringing a selection of books to the classrooms: how do you pick what to put on the cart? </div><div><br></div><div>I've been doing elementary "library on a cart" (book delivery) to classrooms since we returned to in-person classes in mid-August. We are a rural school district operating in a hybrid learning mode (in-person classes 5 days per week, half-days)</div><div><br></div><div>We have a really low tech library catalog - we're planning to transition to Destiny in the next year or two - so there's no way for students to request books except pencil and paper. I got really tired of the paper shuffling, so I started just bringing a selection to the classroom. It seems like no matter what selection I bring, there are some kids who are just. not. interested. in what I have brought, even though they have a history of *always* checking out when in the past.</div><div><br></div><div>How do I reconnect with these kids? How do I make a good spread of books on the cart? I've been doing this rather unscientifically and am currently a little disappointed in the results. We just had a big reader return to in-person classes from her 10 day quarantine (sadly many kids have been in and out of the classroom due to COVID exposure, so disruptive but necessary) and she didn't want any books! I was a bit taken aback. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm curious to hear your thoughts!
