Bridget replied to Deborah Bradford's discussion Checking out books at reading level in the group Elementary School Librarians"I have had to do the same thing. Even though he/she is a little discouraged, I try to explain that if he listens to me and goes with my recommendations he could be reading the "book of choice" before the end of the school year (generally…"
Dan Murphy replied to Deborah Bradford's discussion Checking out books at reading level in the group Elementary School Librarians"My librarian has a great idea. She displays several topics on tables throughout the library. For each topic she has books at a wide range of levels. So if a student is interested she can direct them to the appropriate book. She uses Teacher Book…"

Peg replied to Deborah Bradford's discussion Checking out books at reading level in the group Elementary School Librarians"Debbie: I was faced with the same dilemma when my school went from 3-5 to K-5.

Overdue books
I need some ideas on what to do about overdue books. I am an librarian for K-4. When the other students check out books, my overdues sit at a table and wait. It doesn't seem productive, but I do not want to reward them, some have had their books out more than four weeks. Then what happens after you have sent home mutiple notices? How will I get these books in? Deborah

Greetings Deborah,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.
If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
