Re: Restricting areas of library to certain grades

[Rosina Alaimo <Rosella@ATT.NET>]

I don't restrict the little ones to the E section either.  At Kindergarten
Open House I make it a point to tell parents that I allow their children to
select their own books from all sections of the library.  I also tell them
that little children, especially boys,  love books about slimy frogs and
snakes, terrible storms, dinosaurs, and planets, among other things.  I let
parents know that children like to look at the pictures even if they can't
read the words.  I have had no problems with this policy.

Children need the opportunity to make their own choices.  Parents have the
responsibility to monitor what their children bring home.  Parents know that
if they have a problem, they can contact me.
