Beware of What you Ask for ...
At the beginning of the year students are asked to bring certain supplies to school. Things like paper towels, facial tissue, notebook paper, pencils. It’s voluntary, the district doesn’t provide these things.
This is what I sent out to teachers to tap this resource:
Please send facial tissues to the Library. We are about 1 student short of an empty box.
What resulted was very similar to the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. 3 separate teachers sent me massive quantities all pretty much at the same time as I was juggling with other projects. To prevent further facial tissue influx I quick fired off a thank you and enough message. My Librarian pointed out the error of my ways.
We have facial tissues that will keep us in blowing service for a very long time.
THANK YOU!

You are both awful people. *snickers*
As 2metaldog pointed out for lack of a word.... NOSE!
I may start using NOSE as a substitute swear word.
Miri points out that better too many and YES. I watched one student come up about 5 times in a row for tissues. It was like watching a disaster in the making, would that be the last tissue and his little face would then turn to me pitifully asking me to find him more tissues from somewhere.
Why they think the Library is the site of all resources... Even the custodians come to use for flashlights??!! (sent them to the nurse who looks down throats)The art teacher who sends students to use for salt??!! (okay after that I brought a bulk container of table salt) Safety pins because a button fell off the front of a student's blouse (a translucent blouse and she had a black tank top on under it *SIGHS*) Poster Board (we don't have that go see the art teacher) USB drives (go steal one from a friend, you're shit out of luck *didn't use those terms*)
The Library is supposed to solve all problems and I'm noticing a ranting phase occurring here.

(Better too many than too few?)
Definitely too many is better than too few! *cringes* Rant occurred here
One of the science teachers likes to come to use the library for the tables that allow students to take tests 2 to a table and then she has them plot graphs and print out the results from our Library computer stations.
Since she also moved previous years' table sized past examples of Future City mockups onto the top of two of our bookshelf units *growls* where there were books for the other school's needed reading curriculum .... I thought she was going to use them as examples for this year's Future City competition, which is a temporary thing of that day. Turns out she just wanted them down so that 2 days later the students would cannibalize them for parts.
She like many of the students has entitlement issues.

I left out nose.
It was very busy and then the many many boxes of facial tissues started arriving. I think final count was somewhere near 12 boxes.
