Our funding comes from the state, and it’s pretty good, so I don’t have to fight for a decent book budget. I do think shelves with room to grow actually make the library look cleaner or more organized than one with full shelves. Perhaps I should look at buying more shelving to help spread things out, that’s one of my problems in one section of my library.

As far as the number of books out, there were 200 on Monday, but by Friday, only 42. We’re making progress.

The hype begins this week.

They just wont mail out the report cards for students who have hold slips. Parents have to physically come in and pick them up.

I massively weeded my collection this year, too! Unfortunately, if I got rid of all of the books I should have, the shelves would be 95% empty! As for getting books back, we all face that problem. With a student body of only 335 students, I have over 200 books still out! Yikes! I usually offer a “free chocolate for free accounts” promotion, but time slipped up on me and I didn’t offer it this year. I’m just relying on teacher assistance and a steep fine policy – $5 fine for any book returned after school is out – as well as hold slips that show student have a “lost” book they must pay for. Nothing like shocking parents who come to pick up report cards and see their student owes $36.80 for two lost library books!
