Please check out our website for new student book reviews each month: http://paredeslibrary.weebly.com/student-book-reviews.html
In addition to helping keep the library organized, students check out materials to patrons, help process materials and create book displays. They also help laminate materials and can help you get your materials laminated. I have aides trained each period for the laminator.
