[aisle] Elementary Check Out

[Michelle Harris]

We are taking books on carts to classrooms. We are able to take our
circulation system with us on a laptop (or if the internet fails, we do
have a paper/pencil system for recording barcodes). We have also offered
every classroom an "Online Catalog Refresher Lesson" to remind students how
to place holds. That way if they don't find something they like on the
cart, they can place a direct order which we will deliver.

As students approach the cart in the classroom, they are required to use
the hand sanitizer.  If they want to touch a book extensively (open the
front cover to read the inside flap, for instance...) they must use a
tissue to remove the book from the cart. We don't use our check-out cards,
instead we type in the names of the students as they approach the circ
laptop. We also try to keep notes of what classrooms are requesting for our
next visit (please bring more Diary of a Wimpy Kid, more dog books, etc.)

Fully loaded bookcarts are heavy, but we're going to be super buff!
