ELEM: Setting up new library/reading programs

[Sandra Beck <skbeck@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

In a few days, I will have a final interview for a position at a brand
new primary (Pre-K =96 2) school.  The principal has asked that I make
some notes on (1) how I would set up a new media center and (2) what
plans I would have for programs the first year.  She would like to
discuss these things at our meeting.  I have checked the archives for
setting up a new library.  Most hits refer to furnishings, physical
arrangement, ordering books, and so on.  I was wondering if anyone has
other suggestions about the process in general, such as priorities,
organization, problems encountered, and helpful hints.  I would also
love to hear about some of your creative motivational reading programs
(not AR or Reading Counts). =20

TIA!
