[aisle] book check-out

[Betsy Yager]

I am in a 4-5 building.  We had hybrid for a few weeks before Thanksgiving
and are expected to resume hybrid again next week.  Kids put books on hold
through Destiny.  Some students just email me which is fine.  I check the
holds twice a day.  I just put post-it notes on the books and put them on a
cart with bins that have the teachers' names on them.  Students can drive
up and get them from 7:30 AM - 4 PM.  Those that are in school, I deliver
to their classroom.  I have about 45 min. each day when I am not teaching
classes or meeting with someone, so that is when I do the deliveries.

I also let them put holds on 6 books - they can only check out 2 at a time,
except for my really fast readers who have been consistently
returning them, I let have 4 books at a time.  I quarantine for 4 days, but
I just read that the rules may be changing, so I may alter that to 2 days.
Sad to say, we haven't had a ton of students doing the curb-side pickup,
but at least it's available...
