[ISLMA-Share] elementary school circulation policy recommendation

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

In my K-4 school:

·       How many books can be checked out at a time?  2. Some teachers in
K-2 limit it to 1 at the first of the year to get students used to
returning items regularly. If a teacher requests that his or her class be
allowed one or two more for a project, we accommodate that request.
Teachers and other staff: unlimited

·       What is the maximum number of books that can be checked out
simultaneously?  See above

·       How long is the checkout period (e.g. 1 week, 2 weeks, undefined)? 2
weeks

·       How many times can a student renew a book? Unlimited, unless there
is a waiting list.

·       Do you allow a Hold to be put on a book?  Yes. I maintain the
waiting list in the library management software.
