Our district uses the LEAP materials for class sets.   The program used to
be housed and maintained by our district, but it now has been divided up
for the schools to maintain.  Each building houses different titles which
we circulate at a teacher's request.  The funding for this is non existent
(the history of the funding is before my time but I believe it was covered
by the district without the funds coming from each school's allocated
funds).  I am looking for ideas to maintain/build this program.  Some of
our titles are so outdated, newer teachers have never even heard of them.
Many teachers don't know about the program.  Others become frustrated
because the collection has not been maintained, the books are in tatters,
if even available.  The program is dying.  Some media specialists never
have requests for the books they hold and do not see a need to spend their
limited budget on replacing unused titles.  Others see it as fiscally wise
to share materials instead of duplicating titles in the district.

Do you have a similar program that is working?  What kind of budgeting and
time is spent on it?  Do you evaluate the program in any way?  Do you have
any ideas to help me spark/maintain interest.

Thanks!
