[AISLE-Share] Library book drop

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I actually don't even use our book drop.  We have self checkin, so students
scan in their own book and I have them trained to put fiction books on one
side and nonfiction on the other side of the cart (there are also labels,
too).

It's not perfect, and sometimes fic and nonfic get mixed up, but it's
easier for kids to get their hands on books that haven't gotten reshelved
yet.

I do miss the opportunity to check books as they are returned for damages,
but to help with that, we also have kids trained to look for damages before
they leave with the book.  So they don't get "blamed" for damages when they
are found.
