[aisle] What to suggest to teachers about their classroom libraries

[Renee Brown]

One suggestion in the classroom is to have 5 tubs each marked M,T,W,Th,Fr.
Any books touched and returned go in the appropriate day and are sealed
until the quarantine time is over. Additionally, The teacher is only
allowing books from that day's tub to be borrowed on that day. For example,
if "Because of Winn Dixie" is in the Tuesday tub, the student will have to
wait until Tuesday to check it out.
