audio tapes

[Pat Thomas-Jeanig <Ptjeanig@CS.COM>]

I am a new school librarian in an elementary school.  I replaced someone in
February.  She bought cassette players (like a walkman') to go along with a
new audio book  collection she started.  Does anyone have any suggestions as
to how I should circulate these.  Should I let students check them out just
as they would a book?  I'm wondering if I should purchase a set for each
teacher to have in the classroom.  Then when a student needs one to listen to
a book, they will have access to a player.  Should I make sure that a
paperback is with the audiobook so that students will get the full reading
benefit or is that too much?  What about batteries?
Thanks!
