When we go to the library, they each have to round up the books on their list! (They have separate library cards and so they each get their own printout.) Sometimes we forget to get the receipt list so I just pull it up online and they scurry to find their books.mer@lifeat7000feethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07169865790593225070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246655362094514107.post-17750798354699970642011-07-30T10:31:28.560-05:002011-07-30T10:31:28.560-05:00Some of our parents get those Post-it labels in a ...Some of our parents get those Post-it labels in a bright color, and attach them across the top spine of the book. (Be sure to get the Post-it kind that are easily removable) The bright colors make them easier to spot, and since they are Post-it, they are easily removed without residue just before returning. Also, when he is in school, you can designate colors for each library (Orange for school, green for public). Also having a designated library book bin or shelf would be great.BrendaBee76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01790026588348593164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246655362094514107.post-78874515542140914792011-07-27T23:08:14.184-05:002011-07-27T23:08:14.184-05:00We also have a library basket.

After a torn book incident we don't let C take books to his room but he loves to read them right there in the hallway :) Our library has a drive-thru window so I can put a few books on hold and then honk at the window and pick them up! It's great b/c sometimes I never make it to the adult floor!

The biggest two kids are allowed to take one at a time into their room to read, but really Hannah is the only one who reads in her room. The boys would rather read on the couch. Since we have hundreds of other books in our house, it just works to keep library books in the living room (where we don't keep our owen books). We also have some used library books from library sales, so they kids can't always shuffle through their shelves and know immediately taht it belongs to the library. I also keep the printout that they give me at checkout which lists the books and due dates. Now we check out from two library systems so I keep those lists for sure so I drop the books at the right place!Korihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433449817995150210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246655362094514107.post-33873850086598672232011-07-26T12:44:55.150-05:002011-07-26T12:44:55.150-05:00I have a basket that sits on John's top bunk a...I have a basket that sits on John's top bunk and all library books go in there.

That usually works. Now that the girls are bigger they like to keep their books in their own rooms, so I need to get them their own baskets/boxes. I also always get online and check my account BEFORE we leave to go to the library, so that I know exactly how many books are checked out and I can count my stack before we go.Mindy S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08042321699421422424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246655362094514107.post-49904306083487908942011-07-26T07:34:49.991-05:002011-07-26T07:34:49.991-05:00I love the chicken theme!

This system works pretty well, but there is always one or two that I have to hunt down.Christian - Modobject@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687272618188063178noreply@blogger.com
