[LM_NET] GEN: books on reserve

[Elizabeth Fox <keokuk@CASCO.NET>]

This idea is not mine (thank you, Carol Bernardi!) but our HS uses a "Cart
of Knowledge" to isolate books on reserve from the rest of the collection.
Since I'm the one who pulls the books, I don't allow them to circulate as
long as the rest of the class may need the books.   We are a small (650) HS
so it's easy for me to track this. The Cart of Knowledge really helps with
keeping the books accessible, too, because the kids aren't grabbing them and
throwing them back on the shelves (and out of order.)

I made a "Cart of Knowledge" sign for the cart, so they can easily identify
it as the one with their class resources on it.

I have also checked the books out to a teacher and carted them to their
classroom, should the library be too busy for their classes to come in.

Happy leftovers day to all,
