[LM_NET] Target: Special permission collection

[Lindy Pals <lpals@JEFFCITYSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Hi, Middle School librarians,

 

My school feels that we are experiencing a decrease in 8th grade reading
due to our inability to carry popular YA titles because of mature
content.  We are thinking about creating a special section or "green
dot" indication which will require parental permission.  If you are
doing this, what has been your experience?  Any tips/advice/cautions?
(Can of worms to go fishing?)  :)

 

Also, do you allow 6th, 7th, and 8th to checkout if they have permission
- or do you limit it to 7th-8th or just 8th?

 

I will be happy to post a hit if I receive responses.

 

Thanks!
