Often having to close a shift for lack of refills. I have the time to work about 2 shifts a week. I have enjoyed this as I have had the chance to work with all of our Librarians over the years. Learning more than just my areas of research. An advantage when a patron needs the extra help.
Results is a better trained staff.
Some have a very slow learning rate and this alows for a one on one as the time alows. This head Librarian has used a sign up sheet for Sat. Taped to the desk 2 months ahead I do notice most are filled in by the time the month comes up. Thankyou for your help. If all you have to do is sign up for 1 time in 2 months does not look so bad and then a person isn't constantly being called and asked to fill in.
