Our campus enrollment has dwindled over the 12 years I have been here, from a high of 650 to the current 450. My schedule is fixed for PK-3, fixed checkout & flexible for 4-5 and flexible for 6. When you look at my "schedule" it appears there are lots of empty "free" spaces. I was recently asked by my campus administrators to "fill in" all those empty spaces because the district is looking for areas to cut (and librarians were suggested LAST year) - so I got creative and came up with Library Administration, Cataloging/Processing, Small Group Research, Individual Research, Teacher Support, Curriculum Support, Reading Counts Support, etc. as well as PLANNING, right on the schedule. But I also took the opportunity to remind my administrators that the library door is NEVER closed unless I am out of the building, and that just because the schedule says Administration at 2:00 on Thursday afternoon, it doesn't mean I am not explaining to an individual student for the 10th time why he will never be able to find a 32 page Reading Counts book that is worth the 14 points he needs by tomorrow! -- Leah Hawkins, Librarian Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD West Hurst Elementary Hurst, TX leahleah@comcast.net "It's no use going to school unless the library is your final destination."
