As the roles of librarians emerge and change we have a wide array of duties that fit in our hats. We feel, at times, out of place. We can learn a lot from teacher's collaborative meetings but rarely get the opportunity to go. As our district buys into reading plans we don't feel needed in a meeting about reading. Our role is ever more crucial to guide students into independent thinking, decision-making, and to nurture life-long readers. It is a struggle to get administrators at the highest level to understand it is much greater and as simple as picking a book. Long live librarians!

You can tell the love of your job in the way you do it. And you are great at collaborating with teachers! :)
Thank you, Debbie! So great to hear from a former colleague! We did work together very well.
