Re: Number of books out at one time

[Trish and Don Wade <dpwade@POWERUP.COM.AU>]

Hi!
I'm buying into this discussion with a slightly different perspective.
I am in  primary school of over 800 students.  We are a new school, so our
book stock is what I would consider low for a school of this size.  All this
year, we average a third of the student body having overdue library books at
any one time.
If I allow students to borrow as much as they want, I anticipate the overdue
loans will sky-rocket and there will be less on the shelves for the regular
book-changers to choose from.
Any suggestions/comments?
Regards,
Trish
