Flex library scheduling off to a great start

After the first week, I am already seeing advantages to our patrons after instituting a new flex schedule system for K-5 students.  The primary advantage is that we are seeing students more instead of less!  We have already brought all 18 classes through for an introductory/check out/privileges skill lesson.  This week, a teacher scheduled the library for actual social studies research instead of waiting for a library class.  That is real learning!  Another teacher has already brought her 2nd grade class for checkout time, and having her here with the students made a big difference in book/reading level selections.  Of course, the research in flex versus fixed scheduling describes the limitless opportunities for student/patrons that we are seeing unfold.  This program would not be possible without the support and "we'll try anything" attitude of our faculty!
