- 3rd graders LOVE, LOVE putting stickers on anything
- Sometimes you have to make an executive decision about a series (keep the series together)
- Alphabetizing is a lost art
- Make sure you order plenty of the clear plastic labels to go over the genre labels
- I have not been reading enough books. .. . I can't believe how many I had never even seen or heard of before
- Involving the students gives them ownership over the library, they truly feel like it is their library
- EMBRACE THE MESS!
