[LM_NET] Library without aide

[Carol Hager <cshager@GUHSDAZ.ORG>]

I would have to echo Guusje's remarks for Arizona, plus add in the fact that we are 
about dead last in per pupil funding so there is no money there for any staffing. I 
am in charge-by myself- of a high school library that serves 1600 students plus 
another 100+ staff. I too have 2 choices--have a job or not.

I am so jealous of those of you who have more than one librarian or an assistant. 
You get to do all those great Web 2.0 things and collaborate with teachers. I'm 
lucky to get my books shelved once a week. Luckily I LIKE shelving.

The reality is you do what you can, when you can. You get used to doing everything 
with interruptions and being dead tired at the end of the day.

Thanks heavens I still love the kids and being a librarian--I helps keep me going!
