[CASL-L] Book circulation

[Elaine Shapiro]

All last year we had students browse and borrow books normally, after using
hand sanitizer.  I will do the same this year.  My aide did quarantine
books,  by leaving them on the cart for 2 or 3 days before shelving.  We
didn't spread them out face up  - there is simply no room.  Our school is
allowing shared materials this year (last year students had to bring
pencils, etc to library), and recommends hand sanitizing.  I think the best
safeguard is The Mask, which our district requires.
