Today, I met with Mrs. Deep to resolve book return issues within all grade levels. Mrs. Deep said that last year had the highest amount of lost/not returned books that she's seen since she has been in charge of the TCES Media Center. She said that she had to send out over $600 in book overdue/lost notices to parents and guardians of students within the school. Most of these were due to student withdrawals. The students would withdrawal from the school and not leave their books.Together, we discussed a new routine that would help to eliminate the amount of books being taken home and lost/stolen. The lower grades, K-2, would only check out 2 books at a time. Then, the teachers will bring them to the library once a week, during alloted times, and exchange their books. Grades 3-5 may have 4 books at a time, but at the end of the day, they must leave 3 of their books in a bag in their homeroom teachers classroom. This way, only one book was being taken home. Additionally, teachers will be asked to talk to students about the moving situation. If a student has been told by their family that they may move soon, have the student return all but one book at a time. Therefore, only one book is in danger of being taken in the move.
I also talked to Mrs. Deep about yearly and monthly activities in the library. We used Destiny to locate and outline the activities that took place within the 2017-2018 school year. I have attached the Infographic that I created for this information below:
