In my early days as a school librarian (the 60s) I used to come in a few days
earlier to get things ready (no extra pay, of course). Over the years I discovered
that I could arrive the first day of school and still get the library open and
ready to go. I do come in for about 20 min. a few times during the summer to sort
the mail - otherwise my mailbox overflows.
What changed my attitude? My inspiration that I am of such value to myself that I
owe to it my body and soul to relax and be at peace as much as I can. If it meant
that I would be tense if I didn't come in during the summer - then I would come in.
If I can be here the first day and still accomplish what I need - then that is the
plan.
That said, I am usually the first teacher in the building in the morning (again a
time of peace) - and the library is the first classroom to open.
I guess it boils down to do what works for you and the students.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] GEN: Library Media Center and Summer Hours
I'm just finishing up my MLS degree and working towards becoming a
SLMS. I was curious, is the library media center typically open to
students and teachers during the summer months? And if not, how soon
does the SLMS return to the library, a month prior to the new school
year to do assessment and checking?
Thank you,
