My classroom library is the heart of my classroom. My school doesn’t have a school library so the books in my classroom are it for my sixth grade students as far as immediately accessible books. We do independent reading daily in my classroom so I want there to be plenty of books for them to access.
Last year I started taking a closer look at the top checkouts in my classroom library through a report I exported from Booksource (the library management system I use; it’s free!). While I always have a general sense of what is popular and what hasn’t left the shelf, I liked being able to look at the actual data to make decisions about what books to add or weed from my classroom library.
Read on for the top book checkouts by genre (plus graphic novels) from my classroom library this past school year.
