TARGET:Books on Tape

[Katrina Larkin <KDLark@AOL.COM>]

Our library focus group has decided to invest in some books on tape for
student and teacher use.  We have some walkmen for listening in the library,
and would like to know how other schools (we are K-8) are using this format.
Is anyone out there checking out walkmen and tapes for use in the library
(the walkmen won't go home), and how is it working out?  How about students
taking the tapes home?  Are tapes being returned on time?  In good condition?
 Are other librarians checking them out to all children, or only with
children who have notes from parents?  Some of our books on tape are pretty
expensive for people in our neck of the woods, but we don't want to deprive
kids of this resource, either.  Thanks for your help.
