NY Times Bestseller List March 23, 2009
Posted by ndhsmediacenter in : new_books , add a commentA teacher came into the Media Center last Friday to check out a book. This was the first book she has checked out from our library and she has been in the building for a couple of years. She said that she goes to the public library all the time but never thought to check out the books we had at school! I began to share with her what we have and she was surprised. This concerned me and it made me reflect on my efforts to promote the library and the excellent books that we have. In this blog, I try to write about the new books that are added to the collection. There is a new display in the media center that shows this week’s current New York Times Best Sellers. Please feel free to check out those books, they are for you. The only space I could find to display them was behind my desk as you come into the library. Don’t let that stop you from seeking those books out. Take a look and try one of them out. I also printed the complete best seller list for each category. Some of them are already checked out but there are still plenty on the display!
