As I am a one person operation -- no other librarian - no aide, I am open from 7 AM 
t0 3.15. First period is 8 AM. When I was in the public schools - we tried opening 
the library 3 nights  a week. In the space on 1 year I had zero 
customers.Currently in this school - we lock the 2nd floor immediately after school 
- and since I am on the second floor- no one would have access anyway.I guess I do 
have banker's hours.AllanDr. Allan O'Grady Cuseo, MGCDirector of Library

LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDUSubject: Re: [LM_NET] school librarians working bankers 
hoursThe way we were able to be open extended hours this year was to have me come 
in an hour later than the other media specialist.  That way I also stay an hour 
later and can keep the library open an hour longer.  Most days I have kids in here 
for the entire hour.

Subject: Re: school librarians working bankers hours

Librarians don¹t work ³bankers hours² they work ³teacher hours², because that 
is how they are contracted and paid ­ at least in our system. A few librarians get 
extended contract pay through the state¹s (now defunct) career ladder program to 
work an additional 70 hours throughout the year which pays them to open early or 
stay late for those 70 hours, but that is all.  Unless systems want to hire 
additional staff, or pay librarians to work longer hours and extended days, it 
won¹t change.  Everyone agrees that it would be useful to open libraries extended 
hours, but no one wants to pay the price:)

A Staten Island, New York reporter takes a look at why school libraries close their 
doors to children at the end of the school day, precisely when they need to keep 
their doors open so that kids can do their homework, and of course, research for 
their assignments.

Like all things, its a budget matter, and in New York, a political matter.

Is it like this around the country as well?
