teacher overdues

[Tottenville HS <sl05561@LLWNET.LL.PBS.ORG>]

Does anyone have any good suggestions (preferably ones that work) to deal
with teachers who have long overdue materials, or who borrow things from the
library and then claim to have lost them?  Do you charge teachers at all?
        We have never charged our teachers overdue fines.  We do send
overdue notices every month and with real scafflaws we try not to allow them
to borrow any new materials until they return the long overdue stuff.  In
spite of that, with over 200 on staff and almost 4,000 students, our teacher
overdue list is often longer than our student overdue list.  HELP!
