 * Welcoming School Libraries - Recommended Book Lists **

**Centralized library collections** play an important role within the school's total set of resources to support teaching and learning. They provide a fiscally sound method of provisioning materials that support research and inquiry-based learning. They also complement the impact of classroom collections by offering expanded reading options from a certain author, in a book series, and across genres of literature. ETT/Library Media Services has developed quality, critically-reviewed book lists to support Welcoming Libraries collection development.
