We checked out over 1,500 more books than last year.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a large library, I decided to first use the bins in the \"everybody\" section. This section is commonly known as the picture book section and it's the first place where the youngest students learn to check out books. The new bins have allowed these students to find books of interest more easily than if they were shelved on the bookcases in the traditional manner (spine facing outwards). \r\n\r\nThe next step will involve purchasing more bins and then genre-fying the non-fiction portion of the library. Eventually, I'll continue this process with the books in the Spanish section.
