Hours of Operation:

Our TALB contract states:

Teachers assigned to elementary school libraries work a seven-hour day, except on Friday when they may leave fifteen (15) minutes prior to the end of their regularly assigned workday. Page V-1

This typically translates to 7:30-3:00 PM for an early start school and 8:00-3:30 PM for a late start school.

On-site work hours for secondary school librarians and program facilitators shall be eight (8) hours per day exclusive of lunch, except Friday when they may leave twenty (20) minutes prior to the end of their regularly assigned workday. Page V-2

Site needs translate to more varied hours for secondary TLs, but some examples are 7:30-4:00 PM, 8:00-4:30 PM.

K-8 sites fall under the “Secondary” classification.
