GEN: Overdue Books

[Mary Ann Shaffer <ShafferMAS@AOL.COM>]

I have been following the thread on rewards for overdue books.  My school has
a big problem with overdue books - and totally not returned books - but we
also have a problem getting kids to read.  SO: how do you encourage students
to take books out while getting them to bring them back for others to borrow?
 A student could conceivable only check out two or three books a year and get
a reward for not having an overdue book, while another student checks out
three books every two weeks and has had a few overdue.  Do you weight the
total number of books checked out in determining rewards for no overdue
books??
