Re: Check out policy (fwd)

[Edith Fuller <efuller@TELEPORT.COM>]

The schools on our shared online catalog have agreed to the following
limits on checkout.  The media specialist can override at checkout to allow
a student to check out more books.

Pre-K through 2nd grade - 2 books at a time
Third through 5th  - 3 books at a time
6th through 8th - 5 books at a time
High School - 20 books at a time

I see the limitations as a balance between personal responsibility and the
size of a library's collection.

Cheers. Edith.
