I am opening a new intermediate school (5-6 grades) this fall. I have already ordered a core collection (and feel pretty confident about it), but I am now selecting a large number of paper back books and am wondering about some of the selections of series. I already know what kids will want but now I'm a little worried about the in-between ages of these students. I feel the Goosebumps books are OK. I had them in my K-5 school. But what about the other R.L. Stein series books and all the "horror" type books? My 6th graders would be able to check these out in a Middle School Library. How do I handle the in-between, without censoring? I'm more inclided to go with what I know kids will want, but I am worried about parents and administrators. How have other Librarians made decisions about ordering for this age group? ********************************************************* * Pat Sebastian Alief I.S.D. * * Librarian 6900 Turtlewood * * Owens Intermediate Houston, TX 77072 * * pgs@tenet.edu Phone: 713-983-8466 * *********************************************************
