[ISLMA-Share] lost books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have allowed the student (when they are on free or reduced lunch
list--this is a good & fair way to determine income) to work it off but
helping me dust, wipe off tables for 1/2 hour each Friday after school for
a month.  Some duration so it makes an impact but not too burdensome for
those that parents have to pick up.  I'm rural and a high school.
