[LM_NET] School Library Open in the Summer

[Kathy Darby <kdarby@ALTUSSCHOOLS.K12.OK.US>]

I am a school librarian, and I want to keep my library (7th and 8th
grades) open during the summer. I have heard of other small town
librarians doing this. My principal is supportive. I have to write a
small proposal for my superintendent to get his permission.
 
I was thinking at least once a week or maybe even twice a week. I even
thought of having the students sign contracts about responsibility and
so on. Is it an issue with kids not returning books? Do you open
check-out to kids who are not enrolled in school?
 
I would like to hear from other librarians who have had a summer school
library program.
 
Thanks so much!
