- Getting so caught up in what students are reading, and paying it forward.... - Having the authority of hundreds, nay, thousands of librarians at your beck and call when you have a question and go to listservs for help.... - Showing some pretty cool technology tricks as well as sites (especially web 2.0) to students and hear them say, "Cool! I'm going to use that!!" - Knowing that I have crossed all boundaries, cliques and departments determined in high school by its staff and be an integral part in all of them - And of course, most of all, the relationships I have with students, staff, admin, and peers. That's what drives me :) Naomi Bates Northwest High School Library Justin, Texas nbates@nisdtx.org 817-215-0203 >>> Rachelle Wynkoop <rwynkoop@ALGONAC.K12.MI.US> 1/4/2010 11:26 AM >>> When a student tells me they never remember finishing a book, but the book I helped them find they loved. Do I have any more? Rachelle Wynkoop, MLIS Algonac High School Media Specialist IB Coordinator/TOK Instructor Algonac, MI 48001 rwynkoop@algonac.k12.mi.us IB World School Currently reading: Hunger Games -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Betsy Ruffin Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 11:48 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: [LM_NET] Hit: the blessings of being a librarian Original Post: I have followed the slap in the face thread and can certainly understand the frustrations. So, I thought to myself, why do I do this? Well, how about: the joy of seeing a student really connect with a book, author, or series knowing you contribute to the educational process whether the rest of the staff realizes it or not knowing you are working to create information literate lifelong learners groups like this where we can share, vent, celebrate, and pool our knowledge and ideas the appreciation you get from that teacher for whom you do find just the right book, resource, website, or lesson the opportunity to advocate for libraries, both school and in general; we are a needed resource! Followup replies: joy of ordering and reading the many new books working in a setting surrounded by many wonderful resources and technology, not as limited as a classroom working with and learning from everyone in the building never being bored how about the parent who quietly heartfully thanks you for giving a child back the joy of reading that required reading had diminished Hugs from the rotten little kids in the hall! I love my youngest kids! You all can keep the hormones in tennis shoes! Any others gang?
