I agree with everyone that is saying to allow the gifted readers to take out books at their level in the school library. What I saw a lot of in K and 1 especially is that the librarian would put out a bunch of grade level books on a table and only allow the children to choose from that table, instead of the whole library. I'm sure that made it easier for them, but my child who was reading 3 levels above would come home with a picture book that was read for 2 minutes and then was done with it.
The current librarian knows my child and abilities and makes a point to suggest higher level books.
What I appreciate about our local library is that they have no minimum age for a library card and no limit to how many books you can take out. The volunteers at the desk seem to "know" about advanced readers.
