Northside school is fantastic. We are lucky to have a supportive administration, brilliant colleagues, and great technology tools. And we have the greatest selection of books ever! We have hundreds of class sets of novels to read. Our school's Lead Teacher, Linda S., has devoted herself to keeping the latest titles coming in and finding a place to put them. We have so many books that we are out of space (I'd rather too many books and not enough space than the contrary) and organization is an issue.
"Linda, where so I find A Dog's Life? What Level Q, dog books do we have? Know of any good adventure books?" I think she hears questions this 12 times a day. And she knows the answers to all of these questions. Every time.
Enter a fantastic tool to save the day... Library Thing. Library thing is a 'social network' for readers. It will allow us to enter all of our books, tag them, and easily search them for what we are looking to use with our class. We'll know where to find the books and who has resources that we can use. On top of all of that, Library Thing is web based so it is accessible from home for those of us who know no boundaries between home and school.
Linda, you are now free to order us more fantastic books!
