[LM_NET] TAR: ELEM: Policies on overdue and damaged books

[Janelle Langford <jlangford@MCPSWEB.ORG>]

I am posting this target for an elementary librarian in my district:
"I am interested in other schools' policies on overdue and damaged books. I believe 
it is our job as librarians to get books into students' hands, but I also believe 
it is our job to teach responsibility and citizenship.
Also, what is your administrative support on this policy? Were administrators 
involved in developing the policy and do they enforce it evenly or just on students 
whose parents do not say anything about a fine or overdue notice?
I am a little frustrated of being the bad guy in the situation and would like broad 
input on this issue.
Thank you."

yesterday, and prepare our schools for what no one knows yet. -- Margaret
