YES! I decided to just put the Mary-Kate and Ashley books in a plastic tub,
because they were all written by different authors, so they would not have
stayed together on the shelves. My 2ne, 3rd, and 4th grade girls love them.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] Separate Shelving for Series?
I think it's fine to pull out popular series books. After years of
pointlessly shelving the "Magic Tree House" and the "Henry and Mudge"
books--pointless because they were pulled from the shelf for check-out
within minutes--I now "shelve" them in a bin on a table. You can
circumvent the "junk food" problem by occasionally changing the books.
Put Animal Ark back on the shelf, and pull out Judy Moody. Put away
Secrets of Droon, and pull out and display all the Roald Dahl books.

interfere with the nature of causality.

a ghetto of "junk food" reading? (my professor's description, not
mine!)...
