The Book Basket idea is working wonderfully! Teachers are so excited to see books from the library that are new to them and I am thrilled to have them taking a look at some of the great reads we have here. Not all books are scooped up that day, but I get lots of notes that say, "Remind me of this later this year when we are studying haiku." For those of you wanting to try this, I try to balance titles that go with curricular topics, with some that are just plain great books. I also try to give them a mix of fiction and nonfiction, particularly since Common Core emphasizes that. All in all, it was an idea that really did work. Not much time on my part, but hopefully connects the teachers with the library. Maybe I should add chocolate?
