It is impossible to read every book published in a year. One way you can ensure that materials meet the standards in your collection development policy is to consult a variety of reviews, book lists, and awards before making any purchases. When consulting reviews and lists, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
The following resources can help you choose high-quality materials for your library. As you read through the lists of books with state awards, consider your curriculum and the need of your students to choose the best titles for the library. Consider using a spreadsheet or other organizational tool to help you organize the titles you plan to order.
Are your students looking for a good book? Book Nook includes hundreds of student-created book trailers for fiction and nonfiction books grades K–12. Students can find their next favorite book by searching for titles by keyword or Lexile level. See this blog post called Pitch the Paper with INFOhio's Book Nook to learn how you can help students create their own book trailers to submit for publishing.
