Note: This is at least a once-a-week before school commitment from 7:15-7:35am, but scheduling is flexible. On occasion, a teacher may allow a crew member to come during the school day if all classroom responsibilities have been met. |
How do library crew members help in the library?
The Steubing Bookaroos will work alongside Ms. Wilson to help keep the library running smoothly. They should feel comfortable helping others.
