LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Thanks to the many people who took time out of their weekend or workday to
respond to my request for titles and series that they consider "must haves"
for a school library serving grades 3, 4, and 5. I now have a great,
lengthy, list of titles to help me update and add variety to my collection.
I cut & pasted responses into a spreadsheet to try to alphabetize and
minimize duplication, so my apologies if I inadvertently deleted or pasted
incorrect bits of information together. Hope this list helps others!
