<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">Our staff don't have a due date, so we often have this problem too. I start by sending them the same end of year notices that I send students - 'you still have these items out', or similar. In years when I have student helpers, I ask teachers for permission for the helpers to come in and check their classroom libraries to make sure they didn't get misplaced there - it happens quite often. Teacher check out limits are set to 100 items, and their time is until the end of the school year, so there aren't any huge reminders during the year. But teachers are usually pretty responsible about it . Usually they've just forgotten, or set the book aside, and they are eager to clear their account. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 10:41 AM Tiffany Ouellette 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">Hello! <div><br></div><div>I am a first year librarian, and I wanted to throw a question out for thoughts and input. </div><div><br></div><div>I have a large number of elementary teachers who have had books out for years and they have not been returned.
