Colleagues,
Wow! I was just in our "Book Room"-well-stocked, new titles, multiple
copies, book character dolls, books on tape, audio books.... Here I am
trying to bring the catalog up-to-date by weeding titles from the 30s AND
not award winners! Don't districts see the doubling of resources, the
lack of accounting for these things. I am so put out that libraries limp
along on nothing when there is so much spent of books for the Book Room,
book carts, classroom libraries. And then the Literacy Coach had the gall
to come in and tell me the teacher don't use the library because they
can't find things (they aren't real familiar with Dewey) and that multiple
copies should all be removed and relocated to the Book Room. Fortunately,
I counted to 10 and bit my tongue.
This has been one very long year!
Leslie
