[aisle] getting books back

[Leslie Forsman]

I emailed each of my grade school families with books out personally and
included several ways to return the books.   My next project will be to do
the same for my 7-12 students, but at student (not parent) level for the
emails.
I am fortunate that I work in a small district where I can do that.
