[LM_NET] A holiday miracle

[Janice Davies <jgdavies2004@YAHOO.COM>]

This year I purchased graphic novels and manga series and they have become 
extremely popular with the students. I keep the books behind the circulation desk 
to prevent students walking off without checking the books out. Students tend to 
read them quickly, checking out one and bringing it back the next morning so they 
can read the next in the series. 
   
  I don't allow students to check out more than one at a time (though I encourage 
them to check out other books at the same time) except before a weekend or holiday 
when I will allow them to check out two. Yesterday three of the kids told me that 
they wouldn't be coming to school today -- the last day of school before the 
holiday -- so they asked if I would allow them to check out two that day. I refused 
and stuck to my guns despite the whining about how mean I was. 
   
  All three of them were in the library first thing this morning so they could 
check out the two books.
