TARGET, ELEM: Class rewards for returning books

[Vicki Asper <veraken-vicki@REDROSE.NET>]

I have wanted to try a system to award a class when either a certain percentage
or all of the students return their books but I have a few questions.
  1.  How could something like this be implemented with a flexible schedule as
every class may not be in the library every week?  (For example, this week our
library is closed for 3 days, Monday is staff development, Tuesday is health
screening, and Wednesday is picture day.)
  2.  I would like to reward students when a certain percentage, 80% for
example, return their books.  What is the minimum percentage you would recommend
and why?
  3.  I have open circulation twice daily.  How can I reward classes and also
have open circulation?

Any suggestions above and beyond those two questions would also be welcomed.

For example, when I was substituting, one library had ice cream cone shapes for
each class.  Every time everyone returned their books they received an ice cream
scoop.  I believe she had certain rewards when they reached a certain number of
scoops.

Thank you in advance for your help.
