Hello all!
I work on my lists all year long, and I turn them in the first day of school. With
budget concerns still looming, I make sure to spend as much of my budget as I
reasonably can before library funds are "re-purposed" by the superintendent (and
yes, this has happened before). I usually order new books from Follett,
replacements for lost and damaged books from Perma-Bound, and to make sure I
continue to receive new books throughout the year I am purchasing a Junior Library
Guild subscription (Follett now offers this service as well).
One awesome resource I wanted to share is the ShelfTalker blog at Publisher's
Weekly. Twice a year, Elizabeth Bluemle compiles a list of children's books sorted
by how many stars they have received from review sources like Horn Book, SLJ, etc.
I love to use this when compiling my lists because it allows to me to quickly make
sure I haven't missed any books that are receiving a lot of critical attention.

Subject: ELEM: Books worth buying for Fall 2010 collection
Good evening,
Just out of curiosity for those of you who work in elementary school
libraries when do you have to place your book orders for the fall? Our
district uses Titlewave (Follett) and I'm creating my list now so I can
submit it once school begins. Any new book suggestions, fiction or
non-fiction? I do have a student suggestion mailbox and I have those but any
new books you have seen worth buying? I also have to focus on the Dewey #s
380-388, 593, 770-779, 960-969 and 970-979 as well. Any suggestions are
appreciated :) I will gladly post a hit and add suggestions of my own.
Thank you!!
