[CASL-L] New librarian question on policies

[ANDREA RUHL]

I am at a K-5 public school.  My policies are similar, but I let grades 2-5 have 2 books checked out at a time. If a student is an avid reader and always returns books on time, I do allow for more than 2 books at a time (especially if it’s over a break). Always open to interpretation!

If a book becomes overdue, students will not be able to check out another book until or is returned. Any feedback or templates would be greatly appreciated!
