The Tutorial Library. Luckily it is decorated with the remains of a parade float and filled with the complete makings for a Steel Drum Band. There is a little cubboard where the students come on Tuesday lunch time to check out books. Sometimes a student will grab a book like "The Illiad" and, despite my attempts at distraction, they take it home as the first book they are going to read for the Library Club. Smaller works are actually a little more manageable. There is a pictorial hardcover on the manufacturing of Bubble Gum that has seen repeat interest. There is the beginning of an understanding of how a book is to be taken off the shelf, and then reshelved if the student is uninteresed. The shelves continue to get disturbed over the mad rush, but as you see the library is small so it doesn't take too much effort to straighten it back again.
