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.

Years ago I changed the wording to reflect that any monies I charged for
late, lost or severely damaged books were "fees".  Unfortunately, you =
can't
always change the wording on reports that are printed out.
