My students love to read, and one of the best things I can do for them is provide them with a huge selection of high interest materials! I have a well stocked classroom library that past and present students love to utilize! However, I have noticed that the favorites tend to vanish for weeks, months, or even never to be seen again. My solution is to create a self checkout system! I would like to put an adhesive pocket in the cover of each book. Think old school library style. Each pocket would have a laminated card with the title of the book. If a student chooses to borrow that book they would simply remove the card from the book and place in in their own pocket in the checkout what were reading bulletin board display. This will create excitement about what students are currently reading, while also allowing me to keep better track of who has what books. I love sharing books with my students and would like to be able to buy new and exciting books to add to the library instead of always having to replenish the well loved books that seem to vanish every year!
