Hello everyone!I'm a new LMS in a CT high school. I'm looking for some info from fellow high school librarians...How do students access your library? Who uses your space? Here's why I'm asking - my high school has a privilege system. Students who earn privilege can, instead of going to their assigned caf study, opt out and come to the LMC instead. What has this taught them? That instead of going to an assigned study hall to quietly do work, they can go elsewhere and "hang out". On a daily basis, between 60 to 100 students come to the library each period. Half of them come to actually do work. The others - to socialize and play on their phones. I can tolerate working noise - but I'm dealing with much different issues because of this! I, along with my two paras, have been trying to change the culture - but it's difficult. I feel as if the school culture needs to change, and how students access the LMC needs to change. So I'm looking for your help!Our school has about 900 students. Can you tell me about your LMC, how students access, why, etc. THANK YOU!Jen L.
