    香港六合彩资料 Library Book Selection Process

    AT 香港六合彩资料, teacher librarians and library clerks are expected to check professional reviews along with recommended book levels before ordering books. Library staff strives to order books that reflect the diversity, interests, and curricular needs of our student and staff population.

If for some reason this does not happen and books are ordered without oversight, Ms. Salameh will identify inappropriate books when she catalogs them and will notify the library clerk responsible.
