I joined LM_NET only weeks ago through a course I am taking to complete my
masters degree in School Library Science. I have thoroughly enjoyed the
discussions and various topics. I currently work as an elementary school reading
specialist, a position I have held in the same school for 18 years. I am
interviewing in a week for the position of librarian in the same school (700
students
K-6, 16 new computers with internet hookup, OPAC, good sized collection). Is
there anyone out there who has made a similar move and regretted it? I have
lots of control over my schedule now, which I won't have as librarian (we're
still in the "library as special class/planning for teachers" era here) but I'm
feeling the need for a change after 18 years of the same routine. I'm also
stressed by NCLB and the pressures I now work under in reading because of that
disastrous law. I know I have a good thing going where I am and I'm frankly a
bit scared of the move, but I THINK I really want to try it. Please tell me
all the good things about being an elementary school librarian, and warn me
about what I may not like! Please reply to my personal email.
Thanks SO much!
