[LM_NET] SEC Book return inducements

[Carol Niemi <as277@TCNET.ORG>]

The high school was having a can drive for a local food pantry.  There was a
competition between classes.  As we have a dress code, the winning class
received a free jean day.

 

There was a special sale on small tuna cans at a local store.  I bought some
and announced that students would get a can for the food drive if they met
all library obligations on a certain day.  Offer good while supply lasts.

 

Books were returned, fines paid and canned goods were donated.  It was a
win/win situation.

 

Of course, not everyone participated, but the canned food give-away made a
good dent in my year end overdues.
