Hi,
Ma'am basically Librarians are put in admin staff so we don't have much leave, so you have to adjust your leave accordingly. I am also working as a Librarian in an International school my timing is 7:35 to 3:35 pm, I get 30 days annual leave only & no winter & summer vacation. So I take only urgent leave in working days and rest of the leave I take at the time of summer & winter vacation. On the other hand I understand it gets frustrating when the whole school is on vacation or left earlier but these things you have to understand. Talk to the School administration that after school hours their is no work to be done if they can allow you to go when the school gets off or 1 till 2: pm and your assistant should be only library assistant and he should do no other work, as far periods are concerned I can,t comment on that. If you can cope with the pressure its good otherwise look for any other good option but before joining make everything clear about leave, work time etc. Best of Luck.

Dear Niyaji, I know how u're feeling. I have ur experience as a school librarian in JNV, Navodaya. I was appointed as librarian. But my additional works were hostel warden, class teacher of class six, took their maths and science classes, chemistry classes of class xi, on top of that i always used to go as an escort for every sports meet or any other competition. I had to also take stock of the medicine and nurse the ailing students at night as there was no nurse in the school.Inspite of being a lady i had to go for purchasing library books from Arunachal Pradesh to Guwahati and collect text books from the regional office, shillong. After that when I became the librarian of maharishi vidyamandir public school again i had to take science and maths classes of cl. 6 nd 8 do invigilation work during exams, be an escort and so on. i didnt get any assistant and had to manage library work single handedly. But school librarians should get vacation as i have availed in both the schools and one of them was under ministry of human resources nd even KV's librarians also get vacations just like teachers. The timings of the library also should be in accordance to the school timings. So I think U should fight for it.School librarians donot get their status but they are always overburdened. You can collect the data from various govt. schools like KVs and JNVs and produce them before the authority. Its high time that the schhool librarians should fight for there right and proper status-monetary as well as other aspects I, as an ex school librarian am with u.All the very best. Please go ahead.

Dear thanks for sharing your problem but this is not only your problem. I think 90% school librarian are facing the same problems regarding timings, workload,. salary and other benifits which teachers are getting. So i have attached a copy of delhi govt dt. of education prehapes this may solve your problem and school authority may enroll you as a teaching staff.
thanks
