[ISLMA-Share] lost books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I let them donate another age appropriate book to the library. Sometime
they have something at home; other times they get something from a second
hand store for a dollar or two. I only do this after an extended period of
trying to get the original book back. This way there is a consequence to
their action. I eventually use the donated books as give-aways for Family
Reading Night and other events.
