[aisle] getting books back

Tue May 12 20:18:05 CDT 2020

We sent our email reminders to all families that listed the items their
students still have checked out (we just changed our overdue notice through
the library software). Then I contacted the high school librarians where
our students will attend next year and asked them if they could include in
their freshmen orientation some information about returning any of our
books at the high school. I will then pick up any books that are returned
there.
