Ever feel like your classroom library starts off strong, then slowly slips into disorganized chaos? You’re not alone! In this episode, I’m sharing the classroom library system I’ve used for years that’s simple, low-maintenance, and totally manageable. Type A organizers are not required for this system to work! It’s all about helping students find and return books independently while keeping your sanity intact.
