<p class="MsoNormal">I am new to my district and I know they put in a good effort at the end of the year and we had opportunities at the start of the school year as well, even with being remote. I have received a few but decided to mark them all as lost and
not charge them. I know families are struggling enough with the pandemic and potential loss of employment. I felt it was important to have a fresh start with this school year. I am hopeful that as we start to return to in-person learning next month that more
books will find their way home but I won’t hold my breath on that one. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif">I have called, emailed and begged. Then I just gave up. If it is from another library, I have tried harder, but for my own books I have just marked them claimed returned
or lost. So many of my students have left the district during this time period because of various reasons--many with employment for their parents. As we continue this year in person with so many students having to leave for extended time periods, it is too
stressful to worry about lost books over bad home situations and poor health.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What is everyone doing with lost and overdue books from last school year. I am in multiple buildings. My K-5 buildings each have about 200 books still outstanding. On one hand, I don't want to hold students and families accountable for
these books because it was such a crazy end to the school year and now it's been well over 6 months. On the other hand, There are a lot of nice hardcover popular books out there that I want back. I guess I'm looking for any ideas on how to get the books back.
I do not want to charge families for lost books. <u></u><u></u></p>
