Students Recommend Books to Teachers

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Sue P.

(CLICK HERE for our full Summer Borrowing list of reviews, videos, and more.)

In a delightful reversal of the usual order of things, we polled students this month to find out what they think the teachers should read this summer. They had a great deal to say! About 1 in 7 students responded with a list. Among those recommendations, we’ve gathered up copies of all the titles we own, and have made a book display at the front desk. We took our students’ advice, and placed orders for several of their top choices.

Take a look:

Teachers, here you go! Let the students assign YOU a book to read for a change.

Happy Summer Borrowing to all.

–Sue
