Middle School Library Aides

[Sandy Pomerantz <spomeran@MAIL.PHILA.K12.PA.US>]

Dear Colleagues,
        We have very little volunteer help in our school from parents or
other adults.  Right now two student aides in each class help me with
circulation (non-automated) only during that room's bi-weekly library
visit.  I have a problem of not being able to have student library aides
because the administrators and teachers are averse to having them miss too
much class time.  I would like to schedule a pair from each homeroom to
help me either one period a week or one period bi-weekly. (47 min.) I hope
to be going to flexible scheduling this fall, so I'm not sure how that is
going to work.  What do you folks in middle schools do?
