I just ordered paper backs with handles from WB Mason. I’m going to either provide a google form or have them email a book request. I’ll put in bag, write their name on it and give to teacher or put in mailbox.  That’s the plan. I think the trick is going to be getting word out about new books or maybe offering a service where they can give me ideas about the type of book and I send them 2 choices. 
It will be a challenge!

Good morning-
I am a middle school librarian and have been trying to think of the best ways to get books to students this coming school year. The other middle school librarian in my town and I are working on a plan to get books to students in a safe way. 

We do not have regularly-scheduled classes. We collaborate with classroom teachers. During pre-pandemic times, teachers would bring their classes to get books and students could come down individually to get books. 

We are going to have collection bins for each day of the week so we know when books have been returned. After 72 hours, we will check them in and shelve them. We are thinking that we will have students request the books they want and we will deliver them to classrooms. Maybe have a set schedule such as, Mondays for sixth grade, etc. 

Does anyone else have any good suggestions for getting books to middle school students?

Thank you
Kim

You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz. "All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.  - L. Frank Baum
