I was just told at 2:00 Friday before the beginning of school today that = my library would be the main base of operations for afterschool. That = means as many as 25 kids from first-fifth grade will be in my library = under the supervision of one adult. There are many nooks and crannies = due to the design of the library which makes constant supervision = difficult even in classroom situations. Without new furniture, there is = not much I can do with design. =20 Afterschool used the library prior to last year, I got them out for a = year, and now they are back again. I was ready to "pitch a fit" (calmly, of course), but I after a weekend = of thinking, 1) I realize it will not change and 2) I will alienate six = or seven people. =20 Since I am powerless to do anything, what do some of you do about this = situation? I wouldn't mind so much if there were academic type = activities as there is a modicum of control, but afterschool although = some structured activities, is mostly free play. Problems I have previously encountered are: games, pieces left out, = Legos hidden for another day in the shelves, belongings left behind, = stickiness from snack time. I appreciate any and all suggestions. This is my first post, so I am = anxious to see how this works.
