[CASL-L] New librarian question on policies

[Anderson, Kirsten]

I'm also K-5. I allow grades K-2 have 1 book at a time, 3-4 to have 2
books, and 5 to have 3 books (with exceptions for avid readers when they
really can't decide.) I see the students on a 4 day rotation to sometimes
they have library twice and sometimes once a week. I also allow them to
come up to exchange books if they want to on their non-library days. I send
home a letter to kinder parents and then go over expectations with older
students. I think I also have it in my flier for back to school night but
it's been so different over the past 2 years that I'm not sure anymore!

Hope that helps!
Happy spring break all!
