[aisle] Plans

[Michelle Harris]

Wow!  Lots of space!  Time to put on your thinking cap and brainstorm ways
that cleaning can be accomplished.  I was thinking about the same things
this week and so far my idea is to have a hand sanitizer station as
students enter the library (so we all start with clean hands) and then
HandyWipes (easily re-usuable!) handed to each student who cleans his/her
own chair and table space as he/she sits down. Littles would need verbal
guidance (same as they do for any routine).   Library aide will be in
charge of keeping the circ desk clean and we're thinking of a plexiglass
partition or even a clear shower curtain at the circ desk as needed.

I am also thinking about letting students take an abundance of library
books home (10 picture books...5 chapter books?) so that visits don't have
to be so frequent.  ???

It is challenging to think about the ramifications of all these decisions!
(But I still think that "no library" and/or "no library books" is NOT an
option that should be considered!  💟📚😷

I am benefitting from everyone on the listserve sharing ideas and plans! It
helps clarify my own thoughts.
