In which I ask my friends for help - Please boost the signal

[christinenorris]

 So I'm slowly putting the fiction collection back in proper order. I'm putting together an order for next year, to cover supplies and more books, but my budget is tiny, as are the budgets of most school libraries. There are definite gaps in the collection - not one copy of  If You Give A Mouse a Cookie, for example, except the big book edition

Let me see what I can do this week.

Oh, you are awesome!!!

Can you use any "emerging readers", like Frog and Toad?

[christinenorris]

Yes please! I can point the Kindergarten kids to them toward the end of the year.

I've "boosted the signal" twice. (Once through Facebook and another as a post over on my book blog Beside The Norm.) Also, I've ordered three books for you that are being shipped through Borders. Two are books I remember from my childhood (The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown and Pretzel by Margret Rey). Another is a book I've never read, but is illustrated by an artist I adore (Stephen Gammell), so it should at least be good visually (The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant).

Hope that helps!

everything helps! I am hugging you long distance, because you are awesome!

I just received an email saying the books have shipped, so they should arrive there in 3-8 days. :)
