Solution? A "Hybrid" Schedule!

By having a fixed schedule, you are ensuring that all students have some access to the library, at some point.

However, having the flexibility within that schedule allows the library media specialist to collaborate in and outside the media center.

A "hybrid," or a mixture of both fixed and flexible schedules, will combine a good combination of both schedule types, allowing more access to the physical space as well as access to collaboration time with the media specialist.
