[CASL-L] New librarian question on policies

[Laura Hedenberg]

Hi.  I teach in a PK-6 school.  This is what I do:
PK:  1 book that stays in the classroom
Kinder:  2 books for 1 week
1st:  2 books for 1 week, 3 books for 1 week starting in January
2nd:  3 books for 2 weeks
3rd:  3 books for 2 weeks
4th:  4 books for 2 weeks
5th and 6th:  5 books for 3 weeks

Students can renew 2 times after the first checkout.
Students with overdue books and at their max can books on hold.  If they
aren't at their max
 then they can take out books up to the max.

I only communicate with Kinder parents and the rest is with students.  They
know how many books they
can take and if they didn't bring books back.  Kinder takes time.  In Sept,
the first week only, I only allow
1 book for kinder.  That way the next week all students can take at least 1
book and I don't get tears.
