New Library, need help.

[Elizabeth Massaro <emassaro@BELLATLANTIC.NET>]

Hello,
I was recently hired as the LMS for a brand new, empty library.  I have
nothing, no shelves, no books, no OPAC I have four walls and a floor.
Any help of any kind will be much appreciated.  I've been a librarian
for about a year, but this is my first school-library job.  I am to be
the teacher's special in a K-7 school.  I only have 2 free periods a day

not including lunch, except on Fridays when I have one.  I don't believe

I can put a library together with such limited time.  At the moment,
since ther is no library, I am wheeling a cart from floor to floor,
telling stories to the younger children, showing videos to the older
students.  I need some suggestions as to what to do with them, until I
get the library set up.  I am expected to teach and set up the
library.    LEAP is a charter school in the Camden school district.
Camden is a inner city district with many problems.  Is there anyone out

there who would like to venture suggestions.
Help.
