Tips for being an Awesome Library Volunteer!!
Grades 1-5 will be bringing their library books
with them and placing them in the book return
bin. Books they want to renew will be placed on
the desk above the book drop.
Kindergarten books will need to be picked up down
by the classroom.
17
Tips for being an Awesome Library Volunteer!!

• You will be Checking In the books while the
  students are having their lesson. (Grades 1-5
  only) Kindergarten books get checked in before
  students arrive in the media center.
• Directions can be found next to the check out
  desk.

• IMPORTANT Watch the monitor carefully for
  messages. Do NOT rely on the BEEP tone only
  for a transaction.

18
Tips for being an Awesome Library Volunteer!!

• After the books are checked-in and placed on the
  Yellow cart, please run an Out and Overdue List
  for the class.
• Use the Out and Overdue List to sort the student
  shelf markers.

  markers.
• If the student can check out, place the shelf
  marker on the circulation desk. They will pick it
  up when the lesson is over.

Tips for being an Awesome Library Volunteer!!

• Before shelving the books, please use the baby
  wipes to clean off the covers. Look for sticky or
  dirty spots.
•  If I am still teaching, please begin shelving
  the books that have been checked-in
• Take your time! If you find a messy spot on the
  shelf, I would rather the books on the shelf get
  put in order and you leave some books on the
  yellow cart.

21
Tips for being an Awesome Library Volunteer!!

• At check out time, one or two volunteers will run
  the Circulation computer for book checkout.
• It is important to keep the line moving along,
  especially if class is ending. (For example, Mr.
  Shankins class has PE after library media.)
• Other volunteers can assist students in finding
  books. They love the help!

• IMPORTANT Watch the monitor carefully for
  messages. Do NOT rely on the BEEP tone only
  for a transaction.

  it in and place it on the top shelf.
