I would be interested to hear from list members about librarians being cut.
A few years ago we lost all of our parapro library staff and were left with
a district library supervisor to float between the middle school and 3
elementaries. This does not leave a lot of time for teaching after you spend
a couple of hours cleaning up what has happened in the library since the
last time you were there. What experiences have others had in their
districts?

FWIW, an essay re "disposable librarians" was just posted to the AASL blog,
at http://tinyurl.com/2gvwer
For obvious reasons, the poster prefers to remain anonymous --
although I suspect we ALL know some folks who would qualify as
disposable librarians!
