[LM_NET] TARGET: 6th-12 grade libraries

[Sherry Gick <sgick@RCSD.K12.IN.US>]

I am in my first year as a school media specialist.  My library was
divided with 2 separate shelving units:  1 for middle school students
and 1 for high school students.  I have opened the check out for middle
school students to check out whatever interests them (which thrilled
them).  I'm not sure of the reasoning that was used to separate the
books.  I made the decision to open up the checkout after finding the
other half of my Harry Potter books and the first Twilight book in the
high school section.  I spoke with the administrators and the middle
school staff before making this decision.  

 

I would like to hear from others who have had or are in similar
situations.  Have you consolidated your libraries or do you have
restricted sections?  I am contemplating setting up an "approved"
section for students to be able to check out with parent permission
books like "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and "Sold" but I'm not sure if
this is the right solution or not.  

 

Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom and experience!
