If I need to schedule time in the library, I should

A.

Email the librarian ([email protected])
B.

Sign up on the online calendar
C.

Ask my school leader
D.

Set up a small alter and offer various treats to the goddess of the library

Correct Answer
A. Email the librarian ([email protected])

Explanation
To schedule time in the library, the most appropriate action would be to email the librarian at [email protected]. This method allows for direct communication with the librarian and ensures that the request is received and processed in a timely manner. Signing up on the online calendar may not be sufficient as it may not guarantee availability or allow for specific requests. Asking the school leader may not be necessary as the librarian would be the appropriate person to contact for library-related matters. Setting up a small altar and offering treats to the goddess of the library is not a practical or effective method for scheduling time in the library.
