Nancy:
I've never considered limiting checkouts for staff until this past year
when an unnamed (grin) early childhood teacher had 75 books out, some
from the first week of school. Actually, what we did was give her a
hardback copy of a book about a cute octopus at the end of school along
with the "Octopus Award" for the most number of books checked out all
year. Do you think she'll get it? (I was wondering why the George and
Martha books were never in...)
