Still trying to figure out how to effectively get students reading this year with all the safety restrictions in place.

Thinking that I'll do a mega book talk each Monday and match students to books. They keep the books for the week.
Then next Monday, I touch base and we change up the books (or students keep the one they are on).
Returned books get quarantined in a bin for four days, as per my division's rules.
Students who need a new book mid week can ask me for one.
We'll try to keep reading journals and be better this year about keeping a to-read list, so they can better decide what they want to read next when browsing the shelves is less of a thing.
Normally I'd do reading conferences when students read, but that might need to pause as I get students used to the routines and as I get used to being their book concierge.

Will need to decide if this system is manageable as we go. Lots of things will need to change this year.
