Re: [LM_NET] Library Rules

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

 As this is a perennial topic at this time of the year, you should find plenty of 
ideas in the
archives.

However, I always found the most effective rules were the ones the students 
developed for
themselves.  Ask them what a well-run library looks and sounds like, and then have 
them suggest ways
of achieving this. Phrase the points using the language of the behaviour you want 
to see, rather
than a list of 'do not..." because kids don't hear the first part.  Also be willing 
to have
different standards for different age groups.  What a Yr 6 student might be able to 
achieve could
well be beyond the realm of the PreK kid.
