[CASL-L] Paperbacks in the library

[Kristie McGarry]

YES! they do really great in plastic bins that have the added bonus of the littlest library patrons easily browsing through the bin. The bins can be coded in any way that fits with your library: alphabetically by author; by subject; by grade level. They can also be included in their own section or integrated into the shelving. This works especially well with picture books.

Subject: [CASL-L] Paperbacks in the library

I work in a 2 year old pre-K - 8 school that did not come from an existing school. My library is huge and severely under-stocked. My budget is so limited that I had to purchase paperback books at the beginning of the year. I have also accepted many donations (which will fall apart very quickly).



My shelves are not full, the books fall over and the paperbacks get lost in the shelving. I am thinking of making an entire section of the library "paperbacks only". Does anyone else have paperbacks in the library? Any and all ideas / suggestions are welcome!
