__Sample Documents/Procedures:__
**Corry Robbins (Southern Lehigh High School) robbinsc@slsd.org** All of the notes I've thrown in a folder over the last year. I hope they help someone! :) It's important to keep the barcode #'s and serial #'s somewhere. I have spent hours with support trying to figure out the serial number of a kindle with a broken display! I use this spreadsheet for multiple reasons: post on my website and in library so students know what titles are on each set of kindles, document gift card purchases, document titles purchases/cost for district, document purchases for grant justification. Students are required to return this form before borrowing a kindle. I rec'd a $3,000 grant which I used to purchase $25 Amazon gift cards. This form will allow us to track them as they are removed from the safe. Students use this form to request print/kindle books.
