[ISLMA-Share] rules for teachers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I had this problem when I first started. I made a rather large sign that I
posted behind the counter (so you could only see it once you had,
"trespassed").  It said, "Only trained staff are allowed behind the
counter. Please see Ms. Krippner for training if you are interested in
volunteering." Now there are only a couple of interlopers. I assume they
can't read. I just get overly close to them (in their personal space) and
they move along. I'm not sure what to tell you about the overly zealous
book puller...
