I have found that when I send a note home with the replacement cost, = books come in much more quickly! =20 I am going to be making it a policy for next year that students who did = not return or pay for all books this year will only be able to check out = one at a time, as opposed to the other kids (k-2 may choose 3 books, 3-6 = may choose 5 books). This will allow the 'repeat offenders' to check = out, yet there will still be a consequence for not having taken care of = their obligations. I am also trying mild bribery in this, my first year: as each class = gets all their books turned in, they get to have a library party- = popcorn, sugary candy, Goldfish, etc. Hopefully this will work, because = last year the school board cut the extended time, and I now leave at the = same time as all the other teachers. I will not be coming in over the = summer to do inventory when previously, the librarian had two weeks = after school and two weeks before it begins in the fall to deal with = inventory, etc. Thanks to everybody who posts- I don't know what I would do w/o LM_NET. = I consider it one of my most crucial professional resources.
