GEN: LMC Evening Hours

[Elizabeth Hitomi <ehitomi@ELK-GROVE.K12.IL.US>]

        The Administrative types in our school district are looking for
ways to revamp our Summer School program.  One suggestion has been to have
the LMC (Library Media Center) open one or two nights per week for Family
use.

        I hope that this group can help me find information to assist in
the decision making process.  What works and what doesn't work in this type
of progam??  Who staffs the center - volunteers or staff??  What training
is provided volunteers? What are the contractual inplications that occur?
Who problem solves the technology used - Internet/Automated Library
systems/computer use?  What about lost materials?  What are the unforseen
problems in this type of program?  What are the great things that occur
when this type of program works??

        Respond directly to me if possible.  Thanks in advance for all of
your help.
