Re: Restricting areas of library to certain grades

[Judith Finucane <jfinucan@GRISWOLD.K12.CT.US>]

I do NOT believe in restricting the little ones to the E section. Many of =
them enjoy non-fiction much more. Dinosaurs, dirt bikes, gymnastics, cook =
books, etc.=20
My son went to a school where he was restricted to the E section and the =
only book he ever took out was "The tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher" because he =
wanted to take out a book about frogs and the "library lady" wouldn't let =
him go on the non-fiction side until 3rd grade! To this day (he's 16) =
hates libraries :(

I made it through my first week as a new LMS, and I have a question about =
limiting the areas of the library that the younger grades can use.  During =
my internship last year, my mentor kept K and 1 in the everybody section.  =
This years first graders in my new school are not happy with this =
arrangement, and let me know this wasn't how it was done when the nice =
library lady was there last year!  Were my mentor's restrictions the =
general rule or the exception?  Please advise.
