Each individual copy in the kits will have a barcode so patrons can check them out on their card like any other item, and will check out for 35 days. Once the kit is received, patrons will have one week to check out their items. Libraries will request the kits for them through the KitKeeper portal on the SHARE website. Right now, only libraries are able to check out kits through this program, but that may be reconsidered in the future. Can patrons check out kits through KitKeeper? Do you need the kit longer? Please contact to see if the kit is available for an extension.ħ. Neither the kits nor the items are renewable. This means that the patron due dates will correspond to when the kit needs to be returned. Patrons have one week to check out books, and will have a due date of 5 weeks (35 days). When they are not checked out, each owning library will house their own kits. Where are the kits housed when they are not checked out? Please see "What Makes a Great Kit," below.ĥ. A member library that would like to build a kit can either use existing materials or purchase materials. ![]() You do! We are asking libraries to help build this shared collection. They will pull the kit to be sent to the requesting library. SHARE recommends creating a staff card specifically for this purpose! SHARE staff will get the request and get the item added to the owning library's request manager. Instead, place a reservation via KitKeeper with a staff card. Member libraries can place a reservation in KitKeeper, up to a year in advance! Polaris will not allow holds to be placed on kit records for this program. Do I request a kit in KitKeeper or place a hold in Polaris? For a more in-depth look at KitKeeper, please see What is KitKeeper?ģ. Whether the kits are for book groups, educational collections, or for programming, KitKeeper allows your organization to keep track of your kits and allow member libraries to browse through and reserve titles. KitKeeper is an online way to organize your kit collection. Once received, the requesting library can then check out the kit materials, like books to book club members or they can use the items for in-house programming. When the kit is in motion, it will be checked in and checked out (to the requesting library) just like any other item. This will allow member library staff to place a reservation on a kit. Members will build, store, and share items via a new software called KitKeeper. ![]() I might find another to add for the theme but it's looking doubtful.Kit and Kaboodle is a new way for SHARE members to share kits.

I know I know it's a picture story book and not at all a difficult thing to read. Filling the prompt: "Jack-o'-Lantern: a book that reminds you of Halloween" Read for Autumn Readathon by Lilium 2021. And yes there is a rather haunted-looking house in play but Kit is a witch, that doesn't feel like Halloween tropes that feels like witch tropes. Not the kinda bat you think is going to give you rabies or suck your blood. Yes, there is that rather obvious bat but even Caboodle is the cute and huggable kinda bat. Pignataro avoids most of the symbols of Halloween in a way. While set at Halloween Pignataro has chosen to avoid all signs of orange, instead focusing on reds for Kit and greyscale everything else. This book is just adorable I really like the colour choices. The art caught my attention, okay and Kit is a humanoid cat. Kit and Caboodle is one I had seen on and off for a while. Honestly, I like picture story books they are just so pretty, diverse and send good messages. Sadly I, a childless grown adult, find myself in a reading slump and the only thing staving it off is picture story books.
