[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: Sensitivity in reminding students the books they have checked out while we are out of school

[Crean, Sue]

I put out a note asking them to put their books in a ziploc (I stole the
idea from our elementary librarian Dee Pearson and her assistant Renee
Byrne) and put it somewhere safe like a backpack or desk. Then they can
return it when school starts up again.  THe virus will die off, so I would
recommend after the books are returned they are kept in the return box for
however long it takes. (hours, days, a week?)
