Abstract | Not so long ago the library at the high school in the author's semirural community was perking along every day with the help of one energetic and dedicated library clerk, a few student staffers, and the author, the professional school librarian. About 700 students, and 50 teachers and paraprofessionals access the library on a regular basis. They averaged around 250 student contacts per day, including students working in the attached computer lab. Life was good. Until one day, the principal called them into his office and explained that the clerk would be reassigned to other building and the author will be a solo librarian. After the initial shock, the author had a summer to figure out how the school library program would survive intact. In this article, the author shares on how she prioritized, delegated, streamlined, and became very realistic about the personal and educational costs of downsizing. (ERIC). |
