HI, for returning books, I do a contest with all the grades K-8. Of course,
there is leeway because there is a range with classes (so I usually have 2
winners). But the first class to return their books by the end of the
month, I do May 31st gets an ice cream party. They get very excited about
this. With the MS students, it is a bit harder, but the MS Dean helps me if
books aren't returned they don't get their their yearbook. Hope this helps.
Best, Lisa

Good morning,
I've always struggled getting library books back from students at the
end of the year and wanted to hear everyone's various ideas (especially my
fellow TK-8 peers) on how they get them back. I vaguely recall someone (in
some librarian group) creating a bulletin board listing the number of books
still out in each grade/class and turning it into a competition ....a.k.a.
"whichever class returns all of their books back first gets a library
party". Does anyone do that? Or a better idea?
Thanks all,
Cressida
