IRC: Book Kits

Book kits are a collection of juvenile (children's) titles ideal for using with small groups, guided reading, and tutoring. Book kits are located on the library second floor adjacent to the Big Books and Caldecott and Newbery Award books. The IRC web site has additional information about the Book Kits including the leveling process, a detailed list of the collection, available library collection resources for guided reading, and Internet resources.

Juvenile Books: Big Books

Over the last few weeks, several collections have been 'shifted' on the library second floor to facilitate an increased space for the juvenile collection. Curriculum textbooks, activity books, big books, leveled book kits, and the Newbery and Caldecott award sections all remain on the second floor, but they have slightly different locations.  If you are unfamiliar with the IRC's Juvenile Big Book collection, this short video features information about big books. Don't forget, you can check out big book stands from the materials kit collection, too!




In case you missed it, pictures of the updated layout and a collection of IRC Voki and Gami tours are available on the IRC Pinterest site.
