Adopt-a-Shelf PowerPoint

Use this PowerPoint to introduce an Adopt-a-Shelf program in your library.

Checkout Procedures Quiz 1. The first thing I should do when I enter the library for checkout is talk to my friends. Spine labels should be placed toward the top of the shelf. It’s okay to use quiet voices in the library. If I’m having trouble finding a book, I can use the online catalog, ask a friend for help, or ask the librarian. It doesn’t matter if I check a book out under someone else’s name. If I let someone else borrow my library book, I’m not responsible for it. After I’ve checked my books out, I should sit in my assigned seat and read quietly. FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE © 2013 Mrs. Lodge’s Library
