[aisle] Elementary Check Out

Wed Sep 16 11:29:06 CDT 2020

Christine Wilson --
The plastic bags -- where are you getting them from?  Are the kids going to
reuse them, i.e., return their books in the same plastic bags?  If so, will
you have to disinfect the bags?  Or will you quarantine the books and the
bags?

I'm working up to checking out books to my remote kids, so I'm very curious
about the bag usage.

Happily Ever After,

Karrie Fisher
LMC Director
Teacher Librarian
