[ISLMA-Share] Abe incentives

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I use the February voting month as a time to clear my shelves of the
multiple copies I will not need moving forward. I discard the additional
copies of each title, then give them away as raffles for students who vote.
Helps my shelves, and helps readers!

BTW, I change the name of the Abe in our school. After years of answering
the "I don't want to read a book about Abraham Lincoln" comments​ and, to
be honest, spitting out the mouthful that is the Abraham Lincoln Illinois
High School Book Award title, I call it the Illinois Teen Choice Award. No
explanation needed. I buy from Demco their "TEEN" spine labels and put
those on instead of a call number. That way, nominated books always make it
back to our designated display.

I don't know if this is sacrilege to Abe, but it works for us!
