[LM_NET] Target->Serving Satellite Preschools - May 2009

Target-> Serving Satellite Preschools

 

I'd like to find out how other elementary school librarians on LM_NET
are serving satellite preschools.  

 

At the beginning of this school year, our district started several
satellite 4K classrooms that are located at several different sites in
the community (not in our K-12 public school buildings).   Our
elementary libraries have been asked to begin serving these satellite 4K
classrooms.  Currently, we are considering building a collection for 4K
teachers that will meet their specific curriculum needs.  We want to put
this new library material in one area so that 4K teachers can come to
our library and easily browse for the material that they need.  It's a
self serve approach.  I'm considering calling it an "Early Childhood
Collection" that is accessible to all students and teachers.  

 

I have a two part question for the group:

 

1)      In what capacity are other elementary libraries serving
satellite 4K programs?

2)      Are any of those libraries starting separate collections for
these programs and if so how are you doing this?  (In Wisconsin, we have
"Common School Fund" laws that will not allow us to build restricted
collections.)

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
