As we go to online and hybrid learning, particularly, it would be nice for students to browse books online via the app and request books. Then, teachers or a designated student librarian could fill the requests so that fewer students have to handle books physically.

I completely agree with this. I am hoping to use booksource to help limit students in my classroom library. This would be a great option!

Agreed! This would be perfect for getting books into student hands without them browsing the physical library! Hoping this one happens sooner rather than later, as we return to a socially-distanced classroom in a few weeks. Thanks for the consideration!

This would be so helpful since kids cannot touch the books. They wouldn't have to email me, but rather they could just hold the book!! PLEASE!!
