Everybody books
Beautiful artwork and great stories. You may know them as Picture books but they are much more than pictures. The stories can be read in one sitting in anywhere from 10 - 25 minutes - longer if discussion will be a part of the sharing. Many of these titles can be found on our Compassion and Empathy shelves. They're kept in alphabetical order by author's last name, just as Fiction titles are kept. Bear with us as the on-line catalog is being updated.
JLG books - Junior Library Guild
I was not sure how I felt about a subscription book service when I gave JLG a try about 4 years ago. I love the selections and I think you and your students will, as well. Featured on the shelves by the world map, as well as other locations, it will not take you long to browse through the Biography/Memoirs to see the range of non-fiction/informational connections that can be made with the starting point of a person's name and place of origin. The Fiction titles on a variety of reading levels are a breath of fresh air. Check one out and see how a new read aloud can spark attention. Coming soon, emerging reader non-fiction.
Professional Collection
New titles are consistently added to this growing collection. Books from workshops that you attended, or did not attend but wanted to, are here for your perusal or study. In the physical space where they live, the arrangement is shifting and hopefully this will add a new perspective to titles you haven't seen. This collection needs weeding and all imput is welcome.
