I realized today why I wait a week for book check out. I allowed the 6th grade, who come every day, to check out books - they took a large number of the new sports and guinness world records books. Now the other classes, 2nd through 5th, may never realize we have them. I wanted to have a full week where everyone got to explore all the shelves and see all the new books before the frenzy began. It's just a thought. One young man lost a book on the first circulation and that was that. (I wont go back to earlier discussions of fines, contracts, or school library budgets!) This year, I am also teaching them about putting a reserve on an item, but first they have to know it's there.

I begin checkout to staff the first day of inservice (or earlier if they catch me in the library). Student checkout begins the first day of school for students. Yesterday (our first day with students), at the end of day 1 I had checked out books to PK, Gr. 1,3, 4,5. Today will cover Gr. 2 and Kinder. Gr. 4 & 5 will not have library until Friday, so I arranged with the teachers to have the class visit for 10 minutes and check out 1 book. This allows the classroom teacher to begin with their silent reading times right away. In the Middle/High School Library Gr. 6,7,8 usually also visit on the first day. Students there should be carrying a book with them at all times so that when work is done in any class they can read. -- Anne Oelke Library Media Specialist pK-12 Cambria-Friesland School District Cambria, WI mailto:cflibrary@cf.k12.wi.us -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
