**Book Fair Thoughts (PLE Team Leaders 12.8.11)**
 * Some have asked me if we could move the book fair into a room, possibly Dwyer's old room, now Juli W's, or into the back corner of the library.
 * That might help deter any theft, but it would also make the fair less visible.
 * I suspect our sales would be affected.
 * Not sure how teachers would feel about not being able to get at the resources in the back corner of the library if they were blocked off for a week. They are heavily used.
 * Better solution may be to cover the shelves when we close after 8:00 pm - but would anyone realistically be in the building at that time? Would we want to keep them covered during the day? We get lots of parent shoppers during the day.
 * Some comments about how teacher donations are handled. I have tried to keep as many books on the sale during the sale - then order the teacher ones that were purchased. Teachers don't really like that. They say it is hard to know what books were purchased for them when they are shopping on Friday morning.
 * Suggestion 1: Make a copy of your wish list before handing it in. Then you can compare it with what is left in your wish list on Friday morning. That is a good idea anyway since occasionally people walk off with the wish lists accidentally.
 * Suggestion 2: Just give the teachers the books that are purchased for them and let the sale run out and see how it affects sales. We have data from last year to compare it to.
 * Any other Book Fair Concerns?
 * Idea for giving teachers books - don't just put them in the mailboxes - make a time for kids to "present" books to teacher.
