Thanks to Tina Heitman for sharing this good news! This is a great example of using a collection development plan to advocate for funding for your media center. Tina worked with Michele Hamer from World Book Online to choose the titles for this donation. At the beginning of the school year, I nervously asked PTO for $5,000 to replenish our nonfiction section. I presented them with data showing the state of our library. The average age of our nonfiction section was 2007, which is actually the year I should have been purging. Without hesitation, the PTO generously said yes. All of the books are now here, and a picture says a thousand words, so I would like to take you on a picture walk of our new nonfiction books. These books were selected based on student interests, grade level teacher requests, and library circulation needs. PTO, I cannot thank you enough for your donation. Enjoy the tour of our updated nonfiction sections! Be sure to CHECK OUT these new books! Nonfiction Grades 2-5: Grapic novel formatted science topics, scary and out of the ordinary, building character, mythology, citizenship, space, landforms, weather, animals, robots, military, transportation, dogs, sports, war, and American symbols!
