Why customize the Kidalog for each library?
There is so much good quality children’s literature available, and so many ways to assemble a good quality fiction collection, that each collection has surprisingly little overlap. Looking at the four libraries that were the first adopters (Barron Park, Juana Briones, Nixon, and Addison), each school’s collection shared only 1/3 to 1/2 of its books with any other of the four school libraries. If I provided a single Kidalog to cover all of the books, most of what you see would not be available in your own school library. I want to help you find a book to borrow locally today.
