Select a variety of Christian and classic fiction books among several reading levels. Ensure that the books meet appropriate moral standards and do not contain any objectionable content.
Choose nonfiction books in several subjects commonly needed for elementary school reports. Include books on creationism, the solar system, animals, careers and biographies of important historical figures.
Solicit donations of books and audio-visual material from parents and teachers at the school. Parents in particular may want certain titles to be included in the school's collection and may also have books their children have outgrown.
Stamp the inside cover of the books with the name of the school. Enter all titles into a spreadsheet or database to keep track of your inventory.
Obtain shelving for the books. Organize fiction books according to the author's last name, genre or the reading level. Organize nonfiction books by the Dewey Decimal System or subject. Place books on the shelves after they are organized.
