We use Follett Destiny, which makes it easy to keep track of who should get those very popular books next. It also helps spread the titles out a bit, so the same class isn't always getting the newly returned popular books and no one else gets a chance to see them. I place the holds, not the students. They write their name and the title of the book they want on a piece of paper, and I place the hold in my "free time" :)</font></span></p></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 10, 2018 at 2:27 PM, Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:islma@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">islma@list.railslibraries.info</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
