Classroom Library Check-out

"Whooooo's Reading What?"

This is how I keep track of the books checked out from my classroom library. The library card pockets are numbered 1-20. When a student checks out a book, he/she fills out a bookmark with the title and slips it into their numbered slot. When they check it back in, they put the bookmark in the book and put in back in the leveled basket where it belongs. The next time another student wants to check out that book, they can simply take out the previous bookmark and place in their numbered slot. I keep a basket of sliced construction paper and index cards for use as bookmarks.
