This article brought up several points that I agree with and on some scale already follow. For example, we have surveys for our students to fill out for book requests and I also work with 20 high school interns that keep me up to date on young adult interests and current fads. I use this knowledge to order books throughout the year. On the other hand, I hadn’t really thought of adding children’s books written by children to the collection. This idea was so thought provoking to me and now I want to make a section in my library for children’s books written by children. I got to thinking that Eragon for example was written by Christopher Paolini at the age of 15 and if we had a collection of books written by children on display, not only will students want to check them out, they might be inspired to write their own books. <br />Olivia Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600346206615994821noreply@blogger.com
