Student Hobby Survey

This tip from Annie Miers, librarian at Riser Middle School, West Monroe, LA:
Providing an information rich environment with books and magazines about hobbies is another way to get guys and reluctant readers into the library and reading. How current is your hobby collection? Try surveying your students and then use the information to update the school library's hobby collection of magazines and books.

Thanks this is a helpful post. Your survey could engage students in discussions of their personal interests that guide them. A great way to implement the ideas of "The Quality School Teacher".
