The use skyrocketed. Now it is an even mix between our own students and community members. Circulation of print has remained steady through the years so the increase is tied to internet use. I am a library media specialist at Bristol Eastern High School in Bristol, Ct. WE have been experimenting with having the library open one evening a week since January.
Tonight is the last night for the year.
It is supposed to be open to the public as well, with the understanding that books will only circulate to students. However, I have not done much publicity in the community because I have some real concerns about security. I think that if your administration is serious about having the library open that is one aspect that should be addressed. Too few students make use of it to be worth my time or their money. If you have any other questions, please feel free to send me a return e-mail.
