I'm the Lucky One: Readers Advisory at the Core of School Librarianship
Alicia Abdul
Knowledge Quest, v51 n1 p16-21 Sep-Oct 2022
In this article, the author explores why a school librarian's value should be wrapped up in books. First, reading is a foundational skill, and memories are built around who people are before and who they are after reading a book. School librarians get to be a part of that transformation. Second, books still make up the heart of a physical library, and school librarians can make them shine on the shelves by continually managing the collection, a process that includes what comes in (selection) as much as what goes out (weeding). And third, school librarians elevate the profession through this work. Yes, a librarian is usually a tech guru and a competent teacher, but at the heart of it, librarians are still associated with books.
