Jan,
That is so interesting that you should mention water bottles in
backpacks and books. My aide and I were just discussing the very
same problem has been our nemesis all year. What's the deal
here? I have lost so far 5 books this way and with the weather
warming up again, I suspect I'll be having more before the school is
out. What I did is dry the book out, drill a hole up in the corner near
the spine and hang it up in the library with a note taped to it
describing the problem. Many students are surprised that this
would happen. I guess they thought our books were water resistant.

Back Packs! I get books that are water damaged and "my water

came open" is the reason. Books with black, red, any color
smears on
covers = taking home a painting from art, next to the book, of
course.
The latest ; a glue bottle came undone and glued pages of two
books
together - total value $47.97. this has been the worst year. I
ignore the corner damage now, and concentrate on the big stuff. I
thought of handing out X large ziplocks to each student, but would
they even use it? Your are right, help is needed. Jan Kuebler,
