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.

Hi there,

Yesterday I was told I will be teaching from a cart this year due to cohorts and the pandemic. My principal then asked me what kind of cart I may need. I replied that I wasn’t sure yet, but probably one with a large top surface to serve as a desk/workspace on the go. I also said it would depend on whether I am able to circulate physical books or not and whether or not I would still be responsible for launching a makerspace this year. All that considered, do any of you have any suggestions for what direction I might go in? Presumably some of you (unfortunately) have experience with teaching from a cart and maybe have advice to offer on what kind to choose or how to make this work most effectively? Thank you!
