What to Love about Libraries
New Title
With all the love circulating in the air and Spring on the horizon, it seems the perfect
time to reflect on all the lovely things about librarianship. Mind, this is coming from the
perspective of a public school librarian so here is my list:
1. All the best parts of teaching - working with classes, creating and co-teaching
lesson, spending time with students, and working on projects.
2. None of the hard parts of teaching – no grades, no attendance, no discipline
plans, and no calling home with bad reports.
3. Having the largest and busiest classroom on campus – hosting all sorts of
events, from celebrations, to blitzes, class visits, lunches, book clubs, the list
goes on and on. The space is versatile and welcoming to all sorts of needs.
4. Outreach programs – hosting literacy events, parent nights, coffee with the
principal, voter registration, district meetings, library card sign up with the public
library, and other ways to build a strong relationship and relationship with the
public.
5. Creating displays – different seasons, celebrations, holidays, new books,
themes, pop culture, class lesson tie-ins, and current events. There are always
plenty of reasons to keep displays fresh and interesting.
