Hello,

Can anyone offer some advice/tips to implementing a student volunteer
program in the library.  I run a K-8 school library.  I do not have a hired
aide and instead rely on parent volunteers to do book checkout, shelving,
processing, etc.  Even with their help, there seems to be many tasks that
don't get done when I need them to get done.  I have been considering
enlisting 6-8th grade students to help with shelf reading, book displays and
other tasks.  I would like to implement a program where students could help
during their study hall. Any suggestions?  Any success stories with this
type of program?  What rewards/incentives do you use?

Thank you,
