Elizabeth Ide- Last spring, we were able to acquire a number of audio books from AVID to add to our small collection. We have been experimenting with circulating these special items. It turns out that our reading specialists can make the best use of them. Therefore we transferred the collection to the reading specialists' classroom. Of course, our regular classroom teachers are still welcome to use them, as needed. It turns out to be a win-win situation.
At Prairieview, the situation with the audio books is a little different. It seems to be more advantageous to make them available for student circulation. We have a nice display rack available (a gift from AVID) and it is easy to allow the students to browse through the collection. If they remain popular, we will try to update the collection. Many of the existing audio books come on cassette tapes. As time goes by, we will add more CD's.
