  • My review of Burton Barr will be based ONLY on their children's section and not the rest of the library. I've heard wonderful things about all that the library has to offer for adults but I really only use libraries to check out books for my classroom. Throughout my 6.5 years of teaching, I have acquired over 1100 children's books of my own. Aside from the fact that I love children's books one of the main reasons I choose to buy books for my room rather than check them out is because the library is just so difficult to rely on when it comes to getting the books I need. I teach small children, so I am fully aware of how hard it is to keep things organized if kids are allowed to touch them. But isn't the point of the Dewey decimal system lost if books are NEVER organized back to their rightful places on the shelves? Every time I try to check out books from Burton Barr I have to spend hours looking for them. The computer says they're checked in, but guess what - they're never where they're supposed to be. I get that there are budget cuts and not as many librarians as we most certainly need in such a large section, but come on. Stop worrying about the kids who want to play on the computers and start organizing the shelves! According to the online system, the library has a wonderful collection of books to entice children off the computers and into the world of reading, so why isn't it more important to put those books in their hands and make them easy for people to find? Back in the day, I used to load up my class and head to the library for our first field trip of the year. They made sure every kid was signed up for a library card before we went so they could all leave with a book. I was always disappointed when we'd show up and sit through a puppet show instead of learning about how to use the library or why they should even bother asking their parents to bring them back. Perhaps if they'd spent years teaching the children who visited how to use the library rather than entertaining them with a puppet show the shelves would not always be in the sad state they are today.
