Miss
Trefonas's class returns for another visit on Monday. In addition to
checking out and returning books, I will introduce the class to
NoveList, a database of books that help answer the question "Is
there another another book like the one I just read?" NoveList
allows readers to select the story characteristics they liked the
most and then presents a list of suggested titles. In addition there
are book lists on various topics, book talk presentations, and hot
new books on the home page. This database is a library subscription.
Lakeview has the children's and adult's version since we were
subscribers before the split. Prairieview is currently arranging for
their own subscription.
Also
on Monday the advanced 7th grade Reading classes are coming for book
checkout of books related to the classroom novels they are reading.
And
the IMC staff is working furiously to prepare the multiple copies of
the Rebecca Caudill 2013 nominees for checkout. Before winter break
6th graders will select their first of three choices to read and be
eligible to vote in February.
