Most were returned in ziploc bags. Our district is the same as far as funds, but my superintendent told me to create a list of any books that were not returned and he would make sure I could repurchase them when I wanted too. We only have the elementary building open, so I’m getting books from three schools. I did do a bright arrow call to all students with outstanding books, and we emailed every person on pre-k through 12 with the books they had out. I also created a destiny information guide explaining how parents can log in and see what’s out for grades pre-K through 6 only. Since we don’t have any questionable materials at our elementary building, I felt parents could be informed regarding how to see what’s Still out. Grades 7-12 Have a more unique log in. I will attach it to a different email. It’s in word so you can turn it into a google doc if you like. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Kathryn Green</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On May 12, 2020, at 4:07 PM, Glenda Neighbors via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"></div></blockquote></div><div dir="auto"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>What are your plans for getting books returned by the end of the school year?
