What should I do? Students that are unable to check out books for a particular week let me know the reason (books not returned, etc.) when shelf markers are being passed out. They have three options: (1) read an unfinished library book that they want to renew/keep, (2) choose a book from the "To Be Shelved" cart, or (3) choose a magazine. They must remain at their table during check out time. If you don't have a shelf marker, then you shouldn't be roaming the library!
Stand up, push chairs in, and stand behind chairs. If the class has a line leader, that student will line up at the door. Then I will dismiss by tables, looking for tables with quiet students that have everything picked up. Exiting Library
