Our media center is set up so that students can easily browse for books that they want to read and are able to read independently. One of the sections in our media center houses our middle grade chapter books. In our media center, these are chapter books with older characters and may have more mature or intense content, and are therefore reserved for our 4th and 5th graders as policy set forth by our media committee several years ago.
To make locating a book even easier, I use Demco book stops to label the series, if we have at least 3 books in a series. Since I began using book stops, students are much more independent when they are looking for books, which helps when I am stuck behind the circulation desk.
Middle Grade books are also given a neon green call number sticker to make them easy to locate and shelf.
The books in our middle grade chapter book section often become super popular and are moved to the Wildcat Favorites section. (see the post about Wildcat Favorites HERE) This is a current list of the series books that are in the middle grade chapter books in our media center:
