[LM_NET] TARGET>Starting a Parent Section

[Sarah Ducharme <scducharme@YAHOO.COM>]

Dear LM_Netters,

We are opening a new library in our Elementary School next year, and I am planning 
a Parent Corner as part of the new design.  In addition to two computers, I would 
like to establish a small collection of books for them to borrow.  I'm imagining 
something that could grow to about three long shelves of books.  

Two questions: First, How do you recommend I catalog these books (such as adding a 
P for Parent?)  

Second, what categories of books do you think would be popular?  Are there 
particular titles that you suggest?  Our parents are of all nationalities; they are 
expats, some working moms but most not.  I was thinking of a few parenting books, 
some travel books about Hungary and surrounding countries, books about expat life, 
but then I wasn't sure how far afield to go...cookbooks? Contemporary fiction? 
Self-help (time/stress management) 

Thank you for any ideas you can offer, 
Sarah
