Research has shown that providing students access to books and giving them books they want to read is the best way to get students to read. A classroom library makes reading accessible and enjoyable, and an effective classroom library has a minimum of 10 books for every student.* Educators should strive to have between 300 and 500 books in their classroom library to make a positive impact on reading achievement.

Follett was a great partner in finding titles that met our needs in terms of content and readability. Additionally, they helped us find appropriate titles within the budget we had for the project. Whenever we had a concern about a title – whether it be content, readability, or cost – our sales representative quickly contacted the Classroom Curation Team to find us an immediate, suitable solution.
