<p class="MsoNormal">This is my second year at a school library, but last year checkouts looked different. This year, our kindergarten students are able to check out books “normally.” Does anybody have any tips or tricks on how to make sure the kindergarteners
have fun choosing a book while still avoiding a tornado disaster in the library?

<p class="MsoNormal">I have five kindergarten classes that each come to the library for 30 minutes once per week. All five classes come back-to-back with no prep time in between.
