My classroom library has very few books. I have moved from grade to grade (k-8) never having much of a library. It has always bothered me that I am not providing the best reading opportunities that I can for my students. Now that I finally feel safe in my job, I am excited to build a full and exciting library, including a Harry Potter set and thematic book sets, that my students will never forget! I have students that are willing and eager to read; I just need help to provide them with books. I am blessed with eager readers this year. But whether they are avid readers or reluctant, having a great classroom library will help. Reading is a big deal in my room and now I need the library to back it up. I have developed a great system to organize my books by genre with a mark on the spine and a key on the wall. I have entered the few books I have into an app so students can electronically check in/out books. They love
