Scheduling and Plan Book

[Legare Hartbarger <legare250@EARTHLINK.NET>]

Hi everyone.  My brain is boggled right now.  I have just discovered to =
my delight that we will be using flexible scheduling in my school next =
year (04-05 will be my first year as a Media =
Specialist/librarian/teacher-librarian (any other titles I missed?)
Anyway, I want to set up my planbook so that teachers may reserve either =
space in the Media Center and/or service in the Media Center or the =
classroom.  In otherwords, Teacher A may want to reserve the Media =
Center space for her whole class to check out books at 10:00 on Monday =
(she stays with class, the library clerk checks out)  and Teacher B may =
want to reserve my service to teach a lesson on dictionary skills in her =
classrooom at 10:00 on Monday.  How do you write this in a planbook?  I =
can't figure out an easy way to do this.  I also want to ask teachers to =
make their library reservations by Thursday so that I can copy the =
entire week and give them a copy on Friday.  Teachers may still reserve =
time if available for the next week because we are flexilbe aren't we?
If anyone out there does anything like this PLEASE let me know how you =
manage it.  Also, am I crazy to try and do all this?  I feel very =
strongly that this is a good way to run the Media Center.  But, it's =
hard to figure out.  I also want to include regularly scheduled time for =
PreK-1st storytime and once a month book talks for 3rd-5th, what about =
2nd?
I need some major help.  I mapped out a trial week and it looks pretty =
full (which is the point). Any suggestions?  I would like for teachers =
to have the opportunity to reserve either me and/or the space.
Thanks!
