I encourage students at my school to take books home over the
holidays. I mention that this is a good time to read longer books
that they might not have time for while school is in session.

Yes, occasionally some students move over the holidays
unexpectedly (and therefore lose the books they had checked out),
but on the whole I think the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Usually at the end of year, after inventory, I have 10-20
"missing" books. In a collection of 8,000+, I consider this
minimal loss.
