That Other School Library
McGrath, B. S. (2018). That other school library: Love them or hate them, classroom libraries can provide opportunities to partner with teachers. School Library Journal, 64(9), 42-44. Retrieved from http://libaccess.sjlibrary.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=131502577&site=ehost-live&scope=site
McGrath argues that librarians should support selection and organization of books for classroom libraries in order to ensure variety and interest.
How this should happen is not described in much detail. Also, McGrath attempts to downplay the competition between libraries and classroom libraries, but multiple references to budget cuts for libraries in favor of classroom libraries would have the opposite effect.

Classroom Library Organization

It's amazing how much damage three days worth of substitutes can cause to a classroom library. Sadly I had to attend an out of town conference last week which meant entrusting my 2nd grade students, my classroom, and my materials to a substitute for three days. Upon my return I had nothing short of a hot mess in my classroom and the biggest casualty was my poor classroom library.
After having my students sort our 1,500+ classroom books into specific genres we placed each book in its appropriate labeled basket and scanned each book with the IntelliScanner I became aware of from Beth Newingham.
Summary: Beth Newingham is an award winning classroom teacher, well-known blogger, and educational consultant for Scholastic. Her Scholastic blog takes a virtual look into her own classroom library and the organizational format she uses with her high-performing third grade students. This particular blog post explains how to create and implement an effective elementary level, classroom library.
Evaluation: Beth Newingham has amazing organizational and education ideas. Her scholastic blog listed in the resource list as well as her personal school website, http://hil.troy.k12.mi.us/staff/bnewingham/myweb3/, are filled with information useful to any individual pursuing a teaching degree or a school librarian degree.
