Sorry it has taken so long to post this hit. I kept getting such great ideas and
they kept coming in, so I decided to wait. Thanks for your responses. These
suggestions are paraphrased, as there were many ideas that were similar.
Accept the joyful fact that students like to come to the library!
If students are not doing 'library related' activities, deal with them on an
individual basis and ask them to leave if it is too crowded
Limit the number of students per table
Have a sign in page with X number of slots and when the page is full, turn students
away
Check fire codes
Have principal set a limit and then turn others away
No talking
Give a certain number of passes to gym and cafeteria monitors each day to send
students to the library
Document the numbers for proof
Enlist the aid of student helpers
Have a rotating schedule/8th graders on even days and 9th graders on odd days
Have an activity table/area....puzzles, games, etc.
THANKS AGAIN!
