Bound to Stay Bound Time

I spent a couple of hours today working on choosing books that directly correlate to grade level social studies standards.  After looking at the age of the nonfiction section, it was determined that the average was 26 years, a little old for books that students are using to write about presidents and states.  My task from the media center specialist was to go into Bound to Stay Bound, who has the GA standards aligned to specific books and pick out books that would buttress this section and help with the age of this section.  I was able to locate 41 books and tentatively spend $741.00--not bad for this number.  It was certainly different when I started looking at reference material, which are significantly more expensive, but that's for another day.
