Welcome to our Book Talk Live with authors Tammy Mulligan and Clare Landrigan, authors of It’s All About the Books: How to Create Bookrooms and Classroom Libraries That Inspire Readers.

It might seem obvious, but to create a lifelong reader, we need to start with books, good books! Books are the heart and soul of teaching literacy and our tools to develop lifelong  readers. So how can we organize books across an entire school community to support student choice AND instructional goals? And how do we do this on any budget?

Tammy and Clare join us in this video from our Book Talk Live on Facebook Live...
