[LM_NET] one person library

[Leslie Radloff <LESLIE.RADLOFF@SPPS.ORG>]

So many of you were helpful last fall when I felt I was about to lose my 
sanity, that I have to jump in here about one person libraries.

Prioritizing helped; a work plan for each day helped (somewhat because, of 
course, changes occur); student aides and a parent volunteer help with 
shelving; learning to let go of some of the things are key (go back to 
first point); keeping some of the fun stuff:  question of the month and 
Books! Treats! and Prizes! but not the other little extras; being vocal 
about wear and tear on body-beginnings of carpal tunnel and a pinched 
nerve in shoulder from a work station set-up that is poor; asking where 
that aide is-have been promised one since October.  Mentioning that it is 
services that suffer most, both teachers and students.
