A great big thanks to Nancy Steinke for allowing me to share this with the
group. She sent this to me when I asked for suggestions to share with
students of places they might locate a misplaced library book. When I
received this, I thought "Okay, I'm through! This is perfect!" But, I hadn't
gotten her permission to share it when I posted the hit last week. :
***************************
This is what we're sending out with our newsletters this spring. It's an
amplification of the partial list you sent, plus some places that we've
experienced over the years. Hope it's helpful!
Lookin' for books in all the wrong places.....?
It's the time of year when we, in the Media Center, are getting serious
about getting overdue books returned to us. Each year books are found in
amazing and unexpected places. If there is a book hiding at your house here
are some places where the tricky ones have been found in the past!
under your bed
under every other bed in your house
between your bed and the wall
under the covers at the foot of your bed
on top of the refrigerator (or some other high place it was put to be
"safe")
in the car
under the seat
between the seats
under all couches and chairs
on the coffee table - under stuff
under a pile of magazines or newspapers
on your bookshelves
on other bookshelves
the floor of your closet
in your underwear drawer (or wherever you shove stuff when Mom says to clean
your room)
in the room or belongings of a sibling
in the motorhome that was stored away last fall
in the freezer (with the bag of groceries you carried in)
in the box of Christmas decorations you were helping put away
at the doctor's or dentist's or eye doctor's office
at your friend's house (when you stayed overnight)
at your daycare provider's house
at your grandparent's or other relative's house
So, get the family involved and find those slippery books that have been
eluding you for weeks or months! They need to return home to their shelf
in the Media Center!
Thanks.
