The School Librarian's Guide to (Almost) Everything -- Maura Madigan, Paperback
Because school librarians assume so many roles--leader, advocate, instructional partner, teacher, information specialist, and program administrator--their responsibilities vary widely. It's impossible to be an expert in everything related to the job, especially when some issues or tasks might only pop up a few times a year. A handy reference tool serving up wisdom on nearly one hundred topics related to school libraries, bestselling author Madigan's book provides to-the-point answers on many of the most common questions and conundrums faced by today's school librarians. Packed with current advice based on AASL Standards, Common Beliefs, and ALA/AASL Position Statements, inside its pages you'll discover
- overviews, answers, tips, and how-to steps on such topics as AI, job interviews, yearly plans, soft censorship, dynamic shelving, closing the library, social emotional learning, reluctant readers, strategic planning, and many more;
- easy-to-find information organized alphabetically and notated with cross-references, encouraging you to dip in and out as needed;
- succinct entries with supporting images and tables for quick guidance; and
- suggested sources for further exploration, all carefully vetted for quality and usefulness.
