[ISLMA-Share] Quick Poll/Question

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

The only students who are required to have passes to be in the Library
during study hall are freshmen. This is only because they have an assigned
study hall. The rest of the students are free to swipe into a number of
"study halls" throughout the building. We have a cap of 80 students and
turn students away on a daily basis during three heavy lunch/study periods.
Our space is very open and sounds travel well, so anything above 80 is
problematic. We also have two floor monitors on duty during our heavy
periods.

"What a school thinks about its library is a measure of what it thinks
about education."
