In descriptions of creating literacy rich classrooms there is always some type of classroom library. Creating a classroom library seems like a daunting task to me. How do you start? Where do you find books? What type of books should you look for? I looked around for a good resource to help answer these types of questions, and I think the one below has some really good pointers for new teachers starting out.

I also looked for some book suggestions since the quality of literature in your classroom is just as important as the amount of books in the classroom. This website took a poll and found what books 3rd through 5th grade teachers recommend go into your classroom library.
