Re: [LM_NET] What do to with "Forgetters"

[Courtney McPherson <cmcphers@VVS-CSD-JDG.MORIC.ORG>]

    I have a designated book truck that forgetters 
    can choose books to look at during selection.  It 
    doubles as my easy non-fiction section so the 
    kids are usually very very happy to look at 
    these books.  With the older kids I keep a 
    basket of books and magazines at their tables 
    for them to browse.  No reason for them to be 
    up and out of their seats!  It works pretty well 
    especially since the kids aren't allowed to come 
    back if they "find" their books until recess.  I do 
    sometimes let students go back to their 
    homerooms if they left their book in their desk 
    or backpack.  I should because they *knew* 
    they were coming to library, but if I'm feeling 
    charitable, I do anyway.

    Hope this gives an idea or two.
