Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 350

What a difference these bins and the new organization has made in our library!  Students are now able to browse and find books independently.  Plus by genrefiying the non-fiction secton, our circulation of these books has increased dramatically!  This is especially true in the biography section, which was the first section we worked on.

 

I am looking forward to continuing this project and reorganizing each section of the library.  Using the same system in the section with our picture books will require larger bins, but once it is done this will make finding books much easier for our youngest Sea Turtles.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

I want to make our media center more student friendly, especially for our youngest students.  

 

What will be done with my students

Dynamic shelving is a philosophy that encourages librarians to rethink their collections and create accessible, browsable, and independently navigable library experiences.

These baskets will be used to reorganize the library collection and will help to highlight books that my students would like to read. Books in the baskets will be forward facing which will allow students to browse without staring at shelves full of book spines. 

 

Benefits to my students

I am always looking for new ways to engage and excite all readers within our school library.
This organization will make it easier for students to find a book that will interest them. 

 

Budget Narrative

These baskets will be used over and over. They will benefit our students for many years.
