[LM_NET] TARGET-Is your library closed for lunch?

[jprofita <jprofita@CAVTEL.NET>]

Hello everyone!

My name is Julie Profita and I have been "lurking" and learning for sometime now.  
I am finishing coursework for my library degree and have also started work this 
Fall as an Itinerant librarian within my school system.  I am "split" between two 
K-5 elementary schools.  I have a question about what happens to book check out 
when the resource team (library,art,music,PE,computer) are scheduled for lunch?  

One school is on a fixed schedule and the library is closed to patrons during that 
time (30 minutes).  The other school is on a Flex schedule in the morning for 
grades 3-5 (with a scheduled book check out time around noon)  and then a fixed 
schedule in the afternoon for K-2.  Lunch is often eaten on the go for the LMS at 
this school because teachers really use the Flex schedule (YEAH!).

I would like to know what other K-5 schools do in regards to lunch.  I aspire to 
apply in the Spring for a Head library position and would like to know what options 
are currently being used.  Please note whether your school is on a Fixed or 
Flexible schedule as I think this may influence lunch practices.

I will post a HIT once responses are received.  Thank you in advance for your time.
