<div dir="ltr">I'm curious, Karen, if you had to choose between doing it this way - seeing the classes more often in a semester and not seeing them another semester, would you choose that or going back to 1 or 2 times a week throughout the year?

<p class="MsoNormal">My principal and I are brainstorming ideas for our library schedule in our K-5 elementary school (non-Covid times). Currently, each class visits the library for 30 minutes once per week. Since we have five sections of each grade, I see
about 30 classes a week. I usually spend 10-15 minutes on a short lesson or read-aloud and then they have 15-20 minutes to choose books.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to know what you do (in non-Covid times)! Do you do a 30 minute lesson one week and then let them check out books every other week? Do you see classes for a longer/shorter amount of time each week? Are students able to come to the
library during their free time to choose books? Do you do something completely different?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m open to any ideas as well as real-life experiences!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
