effective literacy strategy

we have been pleasantly surprised at how effective a book display that highlights "Mrs. Kilbey's & Ms Hunter's Favourite Reads" has been. Students are keen to sign out the titles that we put on the table. To track the loans, we have an "extraordinary patron" called "Library Display". The titles are signed out this patron and we print a list of loans. Periodically, we reprint the list and cross-check for signed-out titles. Here is the list of titles that have had multiple circulations. This report of titles that have circulated ten or more times confirmed our selections and suggested a few others that will be added to the table.
