Do any of you have suggestions for encouragine primary age kids' parents to return or pay for overdue (probably lost) library books? I have 4 students who still have books out from last school year, and 5 that still have books out from summer school. We've been back in session for 2 weeks. I've sent notice after notice, I've mailed notices home, and I don't let them check anything out this year until they either return or pay for the materials they still have. I have beautiful new books that they are not getting because they have books still out. Only one parent has reponded, after 4 notices were sent to her, that she's positive her son returned that. I hate to just write off the loss, as I think that sends a bad message to the students, but I also hate it that they aren't getting to check out books. Any ideas? Thanks so much. Nancy D.
