I am currently getting the Spring edition of my LMC newsletter ready for
publication.
I am planning a lead article called
"Library Q & A for Financially Challenging Times" in which I will attempt
to illustrate why, in
financially challenging times, our HS library program should be preserved. I
will do this in a
Question and Answer Format. Here's a sample DRAFT:
Q. When I was in school, I wouldn’t be caught dead in the library. Do
today’s kids really use it?
A. You bet! On average, 100 students per day use the
Library Media Center (LMC). Most visit with their classes and
others visit on a pass. This number is far greater than a high school
teacher’s daily class load. (We are a school of 500+ with one
librarian, no aide)
Q. Hasn't the Internet made libraries obsolete?
A. On the contrary, the Internet has made our library and librarian even
more vital to students.
We maintain 25 computers with Internet access. The librarian teaches
students to efficiently
find the information that they need, determine its
validity and apply it to their assignment.
Got any good Q's and A's that you'd like to share? I will happily compile
and post a hit.
Thanks!
