Learner-Driven Libraries (Complete Set)

Welcome to your learner-driven library system (COMPLETE SET)!

Why does it matter?

As we go into many traditional school libraries, the books are sorted by FIC and the Dewey Decimal system. This organization makes it difficult for learners to quickly find books and discover other books within the same genre.

To reduce time and increase reading satisfaction, let's generify the collection into favorite authors, favorite series, I can read books, chapter books, and novels. This will make the library collection more learner-driven, because it's been created to spark learner interest and personal inquiries.

What resources are available?

There are three ways that you can get informed about creating a learner-driven library.

1. Watch the in-depth video (for free) about my process to spark new ideas about creating a learner-driven library: https://youtu.be/NjxMLxU--Tg

2. Purchase the Learner-Driven Libraries: DIRECTIONS ONLY

3. Purchase the Learner-Driven Libraries COMPLETE SET (directions AND poster set).

The complete set will include:

• an overview of the different roles of a modern librarian and how they support a learner-driven library
• QR code videos that explain ideas in greater detail for each section of the guide
• exemplars of modern library spaces that promotes learner agency
• step-by-step directions of how to set-up the generified collection
• individual small and large endcap posters for each shelf/books for the early years collection of favorite authors and series
• individual large endcap posters for I Can Read books, chapter books, and novels
• novels separated into eleven different sub-genres, including graphic novels and comics.
• detailed genre book lists for each genre (individual books and/or series)
• helpful suggestions in reorganizing the collection

Please note: to receive the complete set, you must submit a clear copy of your school logo (at least 1,000 pixels), so it can be put on each poster that will be used in your library collection.

This process will take 1-2 weeks, so you will receive the directions only at the time of purchase. The longer you wait to submit the logo, the longer it will be to receive the personalized set.

In the meantime, you will receive a copy of the directions, so you can begin reading about the process, reflect, and make a plan, which are the first steps before sorting the collection.

Which Resource Should I Choose?

This is completely up to you and your learning journey. I would highly recommend watching the video first to get a detailed overview of the guide, so you can make the decision to purchase the directions with or without the poster set.

I hope you find a set that helps you to create a more learner-driven library for you and your learners.
