Hello, my name is Ramona Justice,
I am a student at McDaniel College majoring in Library Science. As a
group project we were asked to create a list of books (2002-2005) for a
middle school library's Arts collection. We tried to focus on Art style,
music, and sports (not baseball). Could you please let us know how we
did and/or if this list would be useful in your school library.
Thank you,
Middle School Team
