I am in the same situation...about 1,000 5th and 6th graders.  I will keep you posted once I know what our plan is/what we will be permitted to do.  Thanks for all your ideas on what your school is planning for book distribution.

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
