Thank you. I agree about the 30-minute scramble. I have added Open Library
times and encourage teachers to send their kids to the library on an "as
needed" basis, but they are scrambling to find more instructional minutes.
It's a dance to get things working right.

I'm curious about your self-checkout. Do you find that your elementary
students are honest, reliable, capable, 100% of the time? How can you rely
on accuracy when running overdue and lost item reports?
