Hello All, Risking blatant self-promotion, I’d like to recommend my book – Library Partnerships: Making Connections Between School and Public Libraries. I think that as a school librarian, we often don’t have a chance to interact as much with other librarians, and sometimes forget that in most communities, we have other librarians who would love to work with us at the public library. I have just started working in a fabulous middle school this year, my first as a school librarian, after working as a teen librarian for over eight years in a public library. I know that even working with other librarians in the public library I often felt isolated because no one else read book for and dealt with teens in the public library. I loved working with the school librarians and teachers whose job it was to also engage and inspire teens on a regular basis. My book gives all kinds of practical advice for creating and nurturing the relationships between school and public librarians. The following link is to an interview I did with Amy Pelman on the YALSA blog if you are interested in more information as well as a link to a review my book on the ALSC blog. http://yalsa.ala.org/blog/2009/12/02/as-far-as-im-concerned-there-is-never-enough-pep-talk-about-partnerships/ http://www.alsc.ala.org/blog/?p=802 Good luck with your search!
