Re: [LM_NET] TARGET: List of where to find missing books

[Susan Grigsby <susan.grigsby@GMAIL.COM>]

I think this might be what you're looking for:


*Places to check for a lost book:*
Remember that the library book has a spine label.  Where was the last place
you remember having the book?  Describe the book: how big? Colors? Thick or
thin?  What do you remember about the cover?  Is it hardcover or paperback?
If you’re not sure, ask the librarian.

*Around the house:*
1. In the car (be sure to check under the seats)
2. Under the baby’s car seat

3. In the trunk of the car

4. Under the spare tire

5. In the other car

6. In the garage

7. Behind or under the washing machine or dryer

8. In the stroller bag

9. In the recycling bin

10. In your folder or binder

11. In your backpack. In your other backpack

12. In your sibling's backpacks
13.  On top of the piano. In the piano bench

14. Ask the housekeeper
15. In the reclining chair (between the arm and the seat cushion)
16. Under or in back of the sofa (also check under cushions)
17. Under (or on top of) the kitchen (or dining room) table
18. Behind the refrigerator (fell off of the top)
19. In the freezer

20. On top of, behind, or under the oven & dishwasher
21. On my bedroom bookshelf (Check all the books turned around backwards and
behind other books on the bookshelf)
22. On one of the other bookshelves

23. On/in your desk at home. Check sibling’s desk
24. Under your bed. Under your sister or brother's bed
25. Between your sheets at the foot of your bed

26. Between your bed and the wall

27. Between the mattress and box springs
28. In the trundle bed or in the crib

29. On top or behind the dresser

30. In the dresser drawers

31. In the closet (check all closets)
32. Under the dirty clothes

33. In the toy box

34. In the bathroom

35. On the back porch

36. In the dog house

37. In the tree house

38. In the back yard

39. In the basement

40. Packed with the Christmas decorations

41. Under the TV set stand
42. On top of the VCR/DVD player or stereo

43. In the magazine rack or on the coffee table

44. Under the rug
*Around town*:
45. At the doctor's or dentist's office

46. At the local public library

47. At the church/temple/mosque library

48. At the babysitter's, grandma's, daycare/after school care

49. At your friend's house (did you do some homework together?)
50. At your other parent’s house
51. At Mom or Dad’s work place

52. Wherever we went on errands recently (bank, etc.)
53. On the boat, airplane, train (ok…you really can’t check the airplane or
the train or the boat [if it was a cruise ship] so if that’s where you left
it you’ll have to replace it or pay for it)

*At School:*
54. On the school bus; at the bus stop
55. On the classroom or teacher’s bookshelf

56. In your neighbor’s or friend’s desk (ask their permission first before
digging through their stuff)
57. Way back on the top shelf of your school locker
58. In the cafeteria, gym, band room, etc.
59. At the school office

60. At the school office or library where your sibling attends school.
61. Ask teacher. Maybe s/he returned it when I was sick.
62. Ask the librarian – maybe it’s on the school library shelf – got put
away without being checked in
63. In the school library "Hospital" box - maybe it's being mended
64. At the “Lost and Found” barrel/box/bin

65. Ask friends if they’ve seen it

"It is more than ironic that school districts are willing to spend hundreds
of thousands of dollars on reading programs and staff development which
*have
had limited success* in boosting test scores, but are unwilling to invest in
school library programs that show direct
correlations <http://www.lrs.org/impact.php> to student success."
