How Does a School Librarian Get Books Returned? Promise Them Anything!

It’s an annual problem at every school across the land. How do you get those books back at the end of the school year? Well, here’s one formula that seems to work . . . promise to do something “wacky.”

My great pal, Alanna Moss, does it again.

Readers might recall that one year Alanna got duct-taped to the wall. A hard one to top, admittedly.

 

This year, Alanna went with a classic, administered with a mix of caution and zeal by the school principal.

Anything to get those books returned!

Ichabod Crane Primary School is lucky to have Alanna. It leaves me wondering, once again, how it can be possible that any school in NY doesn’t have at least one full-time librarian?
