[CASL-L] So many books...so little time

[Kirsten Anderson]

I keep track of student requests we don't have as well and the students
love it. I also use JLG because my district's budget is often frozen so it
keeps books coming into the library throughout the year. I also look at
Amazon best sellers for the popular books for students and then try to find
nf books that align with teacher requests from publishers I trust like
Capstone and Crabtree. Definitely not a perfect system but it's only my
second year...
