We were just having this conversation. We agree. Can't really hold
kids/families accountable with all of the craziness that occurred in March
when we left.  I do find that parents are responding to our emailed overdue
notices with books still out..either can't find them or are looking...and I
just ask them to keep looking as many will show up, and a lot have!  Not
charging if they aren't returned right now...most often they get returned.
