Colchester: There is a para in our library, full time, serving Prek-2 students. 545 of them.

Colchester: I have a full time para and 600 kids...I also have a full time tech person too!!

Coventry: I am between 2 schools- K-2 and 3-5th.  Both have Library Secretaries who work 25 hours a week.  There are 350 students in each school and all visit the library weekly.  I alternate every other week in each school.  The week I’m away they just have book check out/story with the Secretary.  Weeks I’m there is checkout and a lesson.

East Hampton: I am split between two schools. Our prek-3 has 630 students and the 4-5 school has 230. I spend 4 days at the larger school and 1 at the smaller and there is a full time para in each building.

Glastonbury:
We have 459 students in our K-5 school, and I am fortunate to have a full time para (35 hrs) in our LMC.You sound like one busy librarian!

Glasonbury:
student population: 550 k-5 students who use the library
para hours: thirty one hours and forty minutes a week

Hamden: I have a paraprofessional 19 hours a week. Ours is a k-6 school and we have about 480 students. I have a fixed schedule with 21 classes a week. The paraprofessional assists with shelving, book exchange, computer and equipment management, book repairs and other items as needed. It is not universal in my district (Hamden) -- just the elementary schools with higher enrollment

Marlborough: I teach at a pre-K to 6 school, I see 30 classes a week, 500 students, I have a paraprofessional for 12.5 hours each week.

Milford: We have almost 500 students here at Mathewson, but I am the largest school in the district out of eight elementary schools. Each elementary (k-5 and preK-5 depending on the school) has a full time (35hrs/wk) library aide.

Milford: I am at a PreK-Grade 5 school with an enrollment of 410 students.  I have one paid, full time media aide.  She works 35 hours per week.

Newtown:
I'm a K-4 school with 310 students.  I have a 15-hour paraprofessional who does my cataloging, maintenance and some assistance with students.  We are a fixed schedule.


North Branford: We have 405 students, grades 3-5. Our library assistant works full-time.

We have a fixed schedule.



Portland: I have an assistant at both libraries I manage. Each school has about 220 students. The library media assistants are there every day 8 - 4, and they have other responsibilities within the buildings. At one school the LMA spends a couple of hours a day working as a secretary in the office. In the other school the LMA functions as the in-house tech resource.


Region 15: We have about 450 students that use the library every week. The media center para works full time but she has lunch, recess, and bus duties that account for about 1 1/2 hours outside of the library each day.

Stamford: 650 students with one para full time. Student enrollment has increased from 400 to 650 over 5 years I had a para then full time.

Suffield: I have a Full-time para for a grade 3-5 intermediate elementary school with 465 students who use the library for classes weekly, as well as many doing independent work.



Wallingford: My clerk works 19.5 hours a week. I work in a PreK-2 school with approx 350 students.


Waterbury: We have about 500 students who are on a fixed schedule to use the library.

I have a library page who works 19 hours a week.

We are a pk-8 school

Waterbury: I work at Maloney Magnet in Waterbury (620 students). I currently have an assistant who works 6 hours per day. Usually she works 5 hours, but we have an open position for a Library Page (19 hr per wk) that is vacant and will be for awhile, so my principal has extended the asst. hours for now. Having an assistant allows me more time to teach and assist children with book selection.
FYI All other elementary schools have only a library Page. I have an extra staff member because we are a magnet school.

Windsor Locks: I have a full-time Aide at my School, South Elementary School. She is here 7:30-2:55 every day Monday through Friday.  I have 390 students.
