[aisle] Staff Lost Items Questions

[Christine Wilson]

Our staff don't have a due date, so we often have this problem too. I start
by sending them the same end of year notices that I send students - 'you
still have these items out', or similar.  In years when I have student
helpers, I ask teachers for permission for the helpers to come in and check
their classroom libraries to make sure  they didn't get misplaced there -
it happens quite often. Teacher check out limits are set to 100 items, and
their time is until the end of the school year, so there aren't any huge
reminders during the year.  But teachers are usually pretty responsible
about it . Usually they've just forgotten, or set the book aside, and they
are eager to clear their account.
