[|Teen Library Survey] Welcome to the library! Hello Library Aides My name is Mrs. Crowther. I am Head Librarian at Chicopee Comp.& Mrs. Danek is our Library Media Tech. We are here to teach you about the inner workings of the library. Some of you may know about all that the library has to offer, but some will discover that the library is more than what it appears to be from the outside. In other words, we do not just check books in and out. The class is 5 credits ....so there will be some form of assessment and evaluation. Participation and maintaining your assigned section is an exam grade. Most assignments will be posted on the Library Aide Google Classroom Please refer to your syllabus packet for more detail. To begin, **below is a list of some of the responsibilities of being a library aide**. = = =RESPONSIBILITIES= //*Maintain a section of the library. Keep the books in call number order, standing neatly on the shelves. Remove any debris or dust from the shelves. Shelve books that are returned for your sections. // //A miss-shelved book is essentially a lost book. //
