<div dir="ltr">I got the ok to checkout beginning in December. We are running Hybrid with students in-person learning on either Mo-Tu or Th-Fri. <div><ul><li>For 3, 4 and 5, I connected to the classrooms remote meet to review putting books on HOLD. Then I deliver books to the classrooms. I use Alexandria software and they are able to login to the researcher.</li><li>For K, 1, 2, and Special Ed, I rolled a book cart down to the classroom. (planned for Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday for each class) Usually I stayed in the hallway and had one or two students browse. They used hand sanitizer first. I put together a shared 1st grade and Kinder cart and a different 2nd grade cart.</li><li>We had plastic bags donated, so I'm able to label the bags with the student's barcode label. </li><li>Students can check out 5 books and keep them for 1 month.</li><li>Monthly, we have a remote pick up day. I focus on the remote students if there's remote pickup coming up. Teachers have been very supportive about passing the books to the students</li><li>When books come back, I quarantine them for 3 days. I made signs so teachers know where to place them to return. I also offered to pick up books from their classroom, if they want. Lunch carts are not being used so I suggested they use the lunch carts for returned books.</li><li>I have a back closet where I place the Quarantined books on a labeled book truck. I touch them but make sure to be extra careful and wash my hands after handling them. So far, this is working well.</li></ul><div>I've noticed that not all students need library books. Some of the 4th and 5th grade students have many books at home or have access to the public library. This process would be difficult if I have to pull books for all of 3-4-5. Obviously, this would be easier if students were coming into the library but we have many procedures in place to make sure everything is staying sanitized. I'm not sure how to manage the students entering the library because they TOUCH EVERYTHING!! Good luck and I hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">JoAnne Sundberg<div>Manor Hill LRC</div><div>(630) 827-4344</div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 10:50 AM Jennifer Muzzy via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">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">All our "specials" classes will be going from online instruction only to having full classes of students in the library in regular classes in 2 weeks.
