Re: [LM_NET] What to do with "I forgot my books"

[Gail Brubaker <srvca.library@COMCAST.NET>]

Perhaps an incentive would help. Depending on the age of the students, a sticker 
that says, "I returned my books!" (I've seen them for sale at ala.org) can do the 
trick. You could have students who cannot check out any books because of forgotten 
books sit quietly at a table while everyone else looks for their books. It might be 
boring enough that they remember their books. Book talks on books of interest to 
the forgetful students might motivate them too.

I have a few students who don't WANT to check books out. It's disheartening to hear 
someone say, "Oh, my books are at home. But that's ok. I don't want to check 
anything out anyway."
