LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Regarding allowing folks other than students check out school library
materials, I have a volunteer who has, on occasion, checked out a book.
Early last school year, when I was absent, my substitute checked out my
only book on Kwanzaa. When it didn't come back in a reasonable time, I
got our secretary to give me her phone number. I left her a message about
how we needed the book back. She finally got the book returned at the end
of the school year. I thought I'd never see it again. She was not a
regular sub in our building.
With money as tight as it is, I'm not in a hurry to invite the community
to borrow our books. I have a hard enough time getting them back from my
students. I really don't have the resources to provide everything my
students need, so how can I provide for the community as well? I do have
students who borrow books they know their parents would like to read.
