the_rckMonday, I finally had my training on the school library's circulation system and such. It didn't take long, and it seems pretty straightforward. My biggest problem is going to be learning the kids' names so that I scan the right barcode for each patron. Rather than having the kids have library cards, there's a binder at the desk that has a section for each teacher with a list of kids and a barcode for each child.
I assist for the first time on Friday. I expect that I'll find the check in and check out process easy in practice, too. At least, I hope so.
The library's to-be-shelved carts were nearly full, so I spent some time after my training shelving. Now that I think about it, that might be what upset my ankle (my elbow certainly didn't like it). The fiction is all shelved in low shelves, so I was up and down a lot. I shelved about half of the non-fiction (there was a table in front of most of the 900s, so I stopped after the G biographies), all of the videotapes, DVDs and magazines and all of the fiction for older kids. I didn't touch the picture books or the paperback introductory chapter books. Basically, I cleared most of one booktruck and left the other untouched.
I expect that I'll end up doing a good bit of shelving for the library. Cordelia's class' library session is scheduled so that there's only about twenty minutes between the end of it and the end of the school day. There's no point in my walking home, sitting for ten minutes, and then walking back.
