new elementary media specialist

["Tiffani De L'Eveille" <stu7107@westga.edu>]

I could use some suggestions as a new elementary media specialist.  I am
so excited now that I am going where I've wanted to be!  I have a few
questions that will hopefully make my beginning a little easier.  Answer
as many or as few as you want.  Any help will be appreciated!

1.  What is the best way to get to know the students on an individual
basis?
2.  I am interested in flexible scheduling.  What is the best way to do
this?
3.  How do you organize your library orientation?  What kind of
activities do you do?  How many days?
4.  Does anyone charge any fines?
5.  How do you set up for book fairs?  When?
6.  Where did you get or use funds to decorate the Media Center?  Did
you do major decorations (like painting) during the summer?
7.  What should I be doing now that it is summer and I have extra time
to go up to the school?
8.  Is anyone in an elementary Media Center by themselves?  Any advice?
(I'm looking forward to it!)
9.  Did anyone NOT have a chance to speak to the previous Media
Specialist before you started?  Any advice?

I am looking forward to increased responsibility and challenge.  Thanks
for any help you can give!
