New library–joy or joyless?
Our school district is building two new middle schools to replace the old middle school. We are adding 5th and 6th graders to the middles schools from the elementary schools. The problem is that 1) I have to split up the collections and 2) add new books for the 7th and 8th grade in one of the new libraries. The parents are complaining over who gets the new library books. The teachers are complaining over loosing books in the the remaining elementary school libraries. The principals are becoming territorial. Yikes! Further, we’re having trouble finding a company that will help us create the new records for the new schools. Have you gone through a similar experience? Do you have advice on how to mediate this nightmare?
