[ISLMA-Share] Guinness World Record books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have them in our 2-3 and 4-6 buildings.  In the 2-3 building we allow
two to be checked out per class (to try and be sure we have some for each
class).  In our 4-6 buildings we allow them as in-house circulations only
due to how "well loved" there were when they returned to the library.  Our
students enjoy them, and they do help us reach some of our students who
aren't avid readers.  :)

We probably have too many years back kept, and this is on my list of things
to attend to this year.  When one gets damaged beyond repair, I replace it
with the newest year.  I hope this helps!
