I have 6th graders sign up to help with Book Fair every year. They sign
up for half hour shifts. It's great help with croud control, and they
love to help the parents find books they are looking for. I do not
allow students to be in book fair if they aren't accompanied by a
parent. If they come before or after school money with a serious intent
to buy, I do let them shop. We have our family nights during
conferences, and if I let every student 'hang out' while their parents
went to conferences, then I wouldn't have room for those who are
shopping! I am often the parents first alternative to 'babysitting'.
Lucky for me, we have a civic organization offer day care in our gym,
with a free will donation. most conferences are 15-30 minutes, so I
say, cough up your dollar donation, and let them go play in the gym for
a few minutes! The 6th graders' main job is to ask children who are
unattended to go to the gym. HTH!

I recently finished up book fair and had a real problem with morning
traffic. I would appreciate any suggestions on what procedures have
worked
for other libraries.
Thanks for your input!
