Hi Friends, I want to share with you my little library, I’m so proud of it! I will share with you how I set up my classroom library and how I have set it up in previous grade levels, K-3rd.

I should start by telling you a little about my current school and grade. I am teaching Second Grade this year and I am at a title 1 school. I am in a Unified School District with schools in at least 4 cities. I believe we are the largest district in our county. My school is tiny compared to others and we are located in a low socio economic community. Life is not easy for many of my students. A lot of the classrooms at my school don’t have a classroom library. Many of the books are old and torn.

I thought I would break this post down into mini chapters to help explain my library. So here we go…

First, I do have books from my school. In the past, before I was at this school they obviously bought books because they have some really cute books, but they have been used very well, and many are in the “tape together” phase of life.

Next, I have many books that have been donated to me over the years, from parents and students from an old school I had worked at. The families at that school knew I was trying to build my library, and they were very generous.

Last, I purchase books when ever and where ever I can. I spend far to much money on books and things for my class. When I think back, my goodness, my savings would be huge!! Huge I tell ya!!! If I didn’t keep putting my money back into the class, but I digress, that’s a topic for another day!

This differs as to which grade I’m teaching. In Kindergarten I had book bins. I had books grouped by theme or likeness. So Disney, poetry, author. This was quick and easy for students to look and get.

In First Grade, I had my books organized by Lexil level, and in book boxes on my classroom counter.

In Second Grade I am also organized by Lexil level, and I also use a color dot system that matches our school library. I have a cute little wooden book holder that make it easy for my students to access the books at their level easy.

When I taught third grade, ironically my library was sorted similarly to kindergarten, but I did not use tubs. I just had the books on the shelves.

Each year I have tried different ways to have the students return the books to make it easy to put away. So far I have tried having the students put the books away as they were done. This did not work so well, my books got very unorganized. I’ve tried having the students put books in a tub/basket, but what I found works best for me is one of these little carts.

The top holds their Reading Mats, (by Jen Jones, @helloliteracy). Than I have my color codes. This little system helps save me so much time, in putting the books way. Actually this year I have students in charge of the library and they put the books back for me everyday.

I like this years, Second Grade, the beat so far. Though I would like to bring more books in. I have a lot of books at home, but being a temp and having to bring all my things home every year, I bring books in several times a year and swap them out. This gives the students more books and not so much for me to have to pack up at the end of the year.

I would love to hear how you all have created, organized, and use your classroom libraries. Share below??
