I open my library at 8.30am. I am a school librarian in South Ayrshire. I operate a school library jointly with the branch public library i.e. we share the samae work space and shelves. I don't find it very satisfactory as a situation. My main problem is that the public libraries opening hours do not coincide with mine. I am open from 8.30 till 4.00pm whereas the public library is open 1pm tp 7pm twice a week and 10-12 & 1-5 three days. So I get members of the public wandering in when only the school library is open and then getting cross because I won't serve them. Not good for public relations. not to mention the way it violates the Cullen report recommendations. I don't have any assistants and, although i get 30 mins. lunch break, in practise I tend to snatch a few minutes at my desk. Does this help? Judi Rumble
