For me the most important point is still to not use the fall back of "because we have always done it that way." I just used your example as the point of departure, where I began thinking about this to the point of being willing to write about it. I still believe my general premise stands.

There is only one children's librarian at our library. She only works one night a week. Because of all her other responsibilities, she needed that night for a few weeks to plan for Summer Reading. She is actually resuming the storytime in June, so our grassroots effort served mostly as a stop-gap. This is a very small town, so there is not a lot of flexibility staffing-wise. It's the perfect opportunity for a little community involvement. Well, it’s definitely a staffing issue. There is only one children’s librarian at our library. She only works one night a week.
