It doesn't take money

[Jeran Walker <Jerart@AOL.COM>]

  Has anyone else run into this?  First of the year blues.  Some of  my kids
think that they can't check out books from their school library unless they
have money.   I think they are confusing book fair with the real thing.  One
little guy was browsing the shelves and I asked him if he was ready to check
out his book and he sadly told me that he didn't bring any money.   So I
began explaining to all classes that it was free and if they brought their
book back they could get another for free.  It was a revelation to some of
them.  The deal of the century.
