Several asked for a hit. I may need to clarify that these are not checked out books that kids haven't returned, as many assumed; these are books that Follett says are available but are not in the library. I also work in a 3 entrance fishbowl, so security systems are out of the question. I got all sorts of replies ranging from "225 seems high, are you sure these aren't deleted books" to "I've heard you should expect up to 5%" to success stories about getting books back from kids later. Others objected to my use of the word "stolen." What other word would you use for "taken without permission in violation of rules and never returned"? "Permanently borrowed"? Sorry for venting, but I highly value honesty and integrity, and I hate it that the rich kids I work for don't. ron Ron Wagner Teacher-Librarian Felida Elementary School Vancouver, WA ron.wagner@vansd.org -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
