- Book Synopsis
- 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. This book will become your go-to reference for answering quick questions about daily practice and your first stop when diving deeper into key issues.
