Celebrating school libraries during this month has always been something that has been hard for me to do because, fortunately, my school always supports and encourages the library. Taking just one month out of the year does not do school libraries justice. We are the foundation for many changes and new ideas throughout the school year. Teachers and students rely on us to have information and give them materials that they can use efficiently and effectively.
The theme of this year's "School Library Month" rings true for so many of us. While we struggle to keep our libraries relevant and useful to our school community, we are always making sure to empower our students. Empower them to: read, check facts, feel comfortable and safe, and so much more. Libraries are, and always have been, more than just books. As a school library media specialist, my goal is to make the library a place for ALL and a place that students WANT to visit.
Although it's already April, I am going to let this new month with this great celebration empower me to get back into blogging, Twitter and more sharing of the great things that my library and all libraries are doing.
Happy School Library Month!!
