[Re: fine money]

[mboniscavage <mboniscavage@ccsch.k12.nj.us>]

I'm the librarian in a poor urban area.  I do not collect fines for
overdues, I rarely get paid for lost books.

However, I have told the children they can pay me for overdues in
CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS.  This works very well.  The kids feel like it is
money & they've earned it because they had to peel it off the can.
It's money to me too because I then use them to purchase equipment
through the Labels for Education program Campbell's has.

If I do get money, it certainly goes into MY budget.  I'm in a large
district and the librarian supervisor wouldn't have it any other way.

If you collected labels it could be a creative way to circumvent your
money going elsewhere!

This posting is a little late because it was originally rejected.
