[CASL-L] Library on a Cart

[Tracy Earnshaw]

Such an interesting question!  I have done library on a cart during book
fair time, and using a regular book truck has not been ideal.  The books
sometimes slide around and fall off.  I may very well be in the same
situation so I put some thought into it.  I think a mobile cart such as
this one below would work, with my personal items in a shoulder bag or in
one of the cubbies on the bottom.  I think my goal should be to have as
many books as possible if kids can't get into the library.
