[aisle] [*EXTERNAL*] Textbook Distribution Procedure - Resource Manager

[Kristine Schauff]

I do not have a proper textbook room. Most textbooks are in individual classrooms- not even departmental book rooms.  Here’s how I handle this in normal times as well as hybrid.  Teachers sign up and I go to their room and check books out to students.  Then go to next room as requested.  The library is closed for the first week as I get through the list.  I have a full time aide so we split the list.  Takes about 5-7 minutes a class   I book in 10 minutes a class.  It’s ugly but works.  I’d be thrilled to think that in a year I’d have a full fledged textbook room.

We had students drive up to our gym doors, we pulled their schedule, pulled their books, checked them out and handed them their books without them getting out of the car. Students had a specific day and time slot to come pick up their books.We did this over 4 days.
