[AISLE-Share] Class Circulation strategies

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

I know what you mean!

We have provided self-checkout for 2 years now. They are very honest and
very few mistakes are made.  Either myself or my assistant is almost always
near so we can keep an eye or help, if needed.

We are now using Destiny's parent email for overdue notices and fines
rather than paper which wastes paper and we aren't sure get home or even
read if they do make it home.  I can keep you updated on how this is
working, if you'd like.
