Hi Sarah - 
In my district, I am a teacher. Therefore, per our contract, I get 1 45 min. planning period per day (5x per week).
4 days a week, I have a 45 min. block which I put in my schedule as library administration tasks.
Because of our schedules, there are other chunks of time, usually 15 min or so, that I also use for library tasks.

I do not have an aide. 

Things I do for teachers: provide professional development in technology/inquiry/media literacy/news literacy/information literacy, co-teach and collaborate, curate resources (both print & digital - such as creating choice boards, find and share events that support curriculum (virtual author visit opportunities (BookBreak, Storyvoice, etc), connections with scientists or other (in-person and virtual), highlight new books, books that support curricular studies, months (Hispanic heritage, etc.), holidays, fix technology, write grants with, participate on district-wide committees, including curriculum writing, provide/support makerspace activities, support play-based learning, support IEPs, 504s, behavior plans, promotes a culture of reading school-wide, champions equity, models digital citizenship and provides support and professional development for it as well, help manage ClassLink, maintain chromebooks and other devices.

I'm sure there is more . . . I can add. Please reach out with questions.

Hi everyone!

I have a meeting coming up with my principals to go over what a library position should look like at the elementary level.  

If you have time, could you please send me how much time you are given for CLASSES prep time and then how much time you are given for LIBRARY tasks- like putting books away, processing books, gathering materials for teachers. Do you have an aide?  Also, what are some things that you do for teachers?  

I will take any information you guys can give me! 

Thank you! 

Sarah Loomis
