[LM_NET] Overdue, lost library books - question

[Paula Yohe <paula_yohe@YAHOO.COM>]

What are some solutions you have come up with for
students that have lost library books, damaged library
books, etc.

By not letting them check out books - media
specialists are perceived as not wanting to help kids
-

kids can't get books - so in some cases, the special
programs just buy books for classroom libraries.

You can't hold their report cards --
you can however -- keep them from graduating -- so
they are more than happy to pay any fees to get the
diploma --

so I hope you see the problem ---

Now -- please -- let's not do the "they need to learn
to be responsible" discussion --  and the library
doesn't have a book budget, etc.

I don't mean that to send negative -- but that in this
case is a waste of time --

I am looking for some creative solutions that anyone
has come up for this type problem

Thanks
Paula
