The policy is clearly stated in our community handbook but a parent is complaining that this policy is unreasonable and saying her child should be able to continue to check-out books even if they have an overdue book because she loves reading so much. (You
guessed it -- this is a parent whose child is chronically overdue and has lost numerous books over the last three years.)<br>

I need to meet with admin this week about this complaint, and am looking for information about what other schools do. I'd love to hear what your policy is and for what grades it applies. My pedagogical reasoning is that the policy helps teach responsibility,
encourages executive functioning, prepares children for the real world, and teaches children to share in the context of a community. Also, it is my fiscal responsibility to protect the integrity of the collection.</div>
