Classroom Libraries

If it's a book, chances are it will end up in your library. Have some policies in place for how to deal with classroom libraries.

• Who orders classroom library books?
• Who owns them if a teacher moves schools?
• How are books marked to identify the teacher?
• How will teachers keep track of check outs?
• How are students charged if a book becomes lost or damaged?
• What forms are used to report loss or damage?
• How are lost books replaced?
