i think the most disturbing part of your "vent" is the fact that your
principal is willing to get "someone". Exactly who is this someone and
can i borrow them??? and what are you - chopped liver! It is not that
you can't do the cataloging it is that it is an enormous undertaking. i
feel your pain!
i have a teacher who wants me to have bake sales next year so that i
can buy more books for her kids to check out. however, the same teacher
is not willing to help get students to return the books that are checked
out from the library. that would save me more money than i could ever
make from a bake sale!!

Deliver us from well-meaning parents!
One charming parent wants to hit the local Goodwill to buy children's
books for the library!. Now, not that I don't do that myself for
replacement copies of popular fiction, but...large scale, no. I
explained
to the principal all would have to be cataloged. "We could get
someone."
"No, not just 'someone' but a credentialed someone." Apparently she is
working with several other schools in St. Paul as well as Rondo.
Why don't we just get a budget to buy books?!
