[aisle] K-12 Quarantine Library Books?

I have been following our public library's procedures as well.  They
stopped quarantining books quite a while ago.  I continued to quarantine a
bit longer, but eventually stopped worrying about it in the spring.  Last
school year I created separate cart shelves labeled with the days of the
week, and students would just place their returned books on the
corresponding cart shelf.  I think I'm still going to do that just in case
we end up having to go back to quarantining them.
