I increased the amount of books per check out. Students have been loving it. I was afraid shelving would be a nightmare, but it really hasn't affected that. There are not a lot of overdue books as well. I thought I would have to chase students down, but again, it hasn't changed that much.

I added the option of getting 3 books at a time 3rd grade and up.  Kids are excited about that - we'll see how it goes

I have been letting all students select books but if they have 2+ overdue books, I hold their selection and "trade" it when they bring their book in. This seems to have been getting more books returned because they're excited about their new book selected.

I didn't put any limits on the number of books students checked out this year. I think it was a success, but we'll see how many we lose at the end of the year. Our circulation has gone way up which is great.

It has led to greater interest in books that extends beyond the genre a student would typically check out. Students have LOVED being able to check out more books.

I have opened the library between 3-3:30 everyday for students to check out to provide more access.

We talked about this at a staff meeting and my principal and I are developing a written policy.  I gave her data on the dollar amount of book loss and now money will be set aside to replace lost books.

I've been in contact with teachers more about overdue books. I've sent reports to them and had discussions about specific students who have "lost" books at this point and have implemented some of my supports earlier than usual - I want less time to lapse between "lost books" and implementing supports. I think this is working well. - Mindy

I am going to be purposeful about students "haggling" and letting them know they can ask.  I think it is a good skill to remind students to ask and be active in the pursuit of what they want.  Good idea Mindy!

I will also more actively keep track of who has not checked out in awhile and talk to the student about why they have not. And if possible, make change around that reason for the student.

Many 8th graders rarely come to the library. As a new member of the 8th grade team, I will push myself to be more creative in attracting students to regularly visit the library. A survey as to why students do or don't like to come is a good start. Also, offer PBIS points?...

Kara Starting Circulation earlier. Our school has always had a policy that students don't check out until the second half of first grade. I am going to see what I can do to change that policy. I am going to improve signage because if the students had a clearer  path to the books they want to read-more would be checked out!!!

I am going to question my own policies and procedures in regards to equity.  I will wear my equity lens everyday.

I will work with individual kids and their adults about overdue books instead of not checking out to them

I'm going to try to focus on talking to students that never check out to try to determine what I can do to make them more excited or able to check out.

I am going to work on kids who have terrible overdues. I really need to call home more to figure out what is going on, and then make a PLAN with those kids. Either payment or work it off or something....
