• Overheard at the desk
  • from the comments: My middle schoolers ask this question “where are the good books?” so often that I finally made a permanent “good books bin” display. I put books there that I love but don’t know how to booktalk, along with new books and old favorites. It also has a tagline asking students to find a book in the library that they loved and add it to the bin. They surprise me with the classics that end up there. I love participatory displays! Now I can answer, “The good books? Oh, they’re in the Good Books Bin over there!”
