<div dir="ltr">Wow! Lots of space! Time to put on your thinking cap and brainstorm ways that cleaning can be accomplished. I was thinking about the same things this week and so far my idea is to have a hand sanitizer station as students enter the library (so we all start with clean hands) and then HandyWipes (easily re-usuable!) handed to each student who cleans his/her own chair and table space as he/she sits down. Littles would need verbal guidance (same as they do for any routine). Library aide will be in charge of keeping the circ desk clean and we're thinking of a plexiglass partition or even a clear shower curtain at the circ desk as needed. <div><br></div><div>I am also thinking about letting students take an abundance of library books home (10 picture books...5 chapter books?) so that visits don't have to be so frequent. ???</div><div><br></div><div>It is challenging to think about the ramifications of all these decisions! (But I still think that "no library" and/or "no library books" is NOT an option that should be considered! 💟📚😷</div><div><br></div><div>I am benefitting from everyone on the listserve sharing ideas and plans!

I had hoped I would be able to do these things. My library is 4000 sq. Feet. We have tons of space to split the classes into small groups, social distance etc. I think they are worried about the cleaning sanitizing piece. I am ok going on wheels. Again they are worried about checkouts and the social distancing, sanitizing. I guess we will see this week!<div dir="auto">Patty K.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jul 13, 2020, 4:44 PM Michelle Harris via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hey Patty,<div>No wonder you are feeling stressed! Will you have an opportunity to advocate for allowing book check-out in alternative ways such as book check-out in classrooms, making online requests, etc? I'm planning to "take my show on the road" and bring the library to the students as much as possible. Would your school be open to ideas like that from you?
