 * Recommended High School Nook Circulation Tips** **VITAL Grant Librarians**
 * Barcode the Nooks and enter them in the SOAR integrated library system
 * Use student contracts with parental notification, so families accept financial responsibility in care of the Nooks
 * Circulate Nooks for distinct periods of time, such as four weeks (in the case of Nook Book Clubs), so that students must physically return the devices periodically
 * For use of Nook during a class period only, collect the student's ID during check-out
 * Collaborate with classroom teachers to load books that may be used during English or other classes. Circulate to each student in the class during the period and collect devices from each student as he or she leaves the room
 * Check out Nooks only to students whose library accounts are in good standing to encourage responsibility
 * Post the student contracts on the library website or wiki for clarity in communication
 * When using with classes, encourage clean hands or use hand sanitizer for health reasons
 * When circulating books with more mature young adult content, secure parental permission prior to circulation
