While reading another school librarian Tamara Cox's post on non-traditiional shelving, I began thinking about how I can make my library more user friendly. Sadly, I keep trying to think of ways to help students use their library on their own without assistance from an adult. Students have recently been practicing ratios in math. Maps and map reading are always a part of social studies and even language arts.

In any case, if none of the student made maps work out, I will make my own and see what the response is like. Even if I don't make copies, I can post the map for student reference. I definitely see myself using it with my new 6th graders during orientation. This would even be a great project on the school level. What a better way to help school visitors find their way than with a student made map.

What a great idea - turning over the mapping to the students. Gives them ownership of the library and provides you with several possibilities.
Gosh - I think I am going to end up borrowing yet another idea from you! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Thanks! I will try to post our winning map.
