[ISLMA-Share] student helper

My student aide helps me put up monthly displays, shelves books, maintains the periodicals, tidies up the library, and more.  He also signs students out when it is time to go.  That task has always been a popular one.

My student aides sign up as they would a class.  They receive a pass-fail grade.  I treat it as if they work for me.  I try to teach them about how the library is run, showing them how to search databases, go through book reviews, get their input in selecting materials, processing new materials, etc.  A number of my aides have used me as a reference to get jobs.  Some have gone on to get part-time jobs at the local public library.

I also have my student helpers design and change the bulletin board and other displays in the library.  For example, all my Rebecca Caudill titles are cut out and ready to go for next year when I will post students as bookworms with the titles on their heads as they read them.

My more advanced students also run the circulation station.

For the first time, I have a student helper assigned to the library an hour each day.  What type of tasks do you recommend I have him complete?  I have done shelving and dusting, but I am trying to think of something that would be a more worthwhile use of his time and interest.

Thank you!
