Stillwater MS/HS Library Update We were happy to get back into the swing of things this September! We continue to see a variety of visitors, including classes, study hall students, test takers, students taking online classes via HVCC, visitors to special events such as the College Caravan, ESL teachers and students, and others. This month, all of our incoming 6th grade students visited the library at least once. On their first visit, we gave them a dynamic walking tour of the library, helped them become accustomed what books are where, answered the crucial, oft-asked question, “How many books can I take out?” (the answer, “As many as you can be responsible for and safely carry in your backpack,” is always a hit!), and checked out books for their independent reading project.

10 things classroom teachers need to know about modern school librarians | Trust me, I'm a librarian 1) We hate quiet. Oh, sure, the typical view of a librarian is an older woman, in a cardigan and cat-eye glasses, with a tight bun, shushing everyone who dares to make a sound. That may have been the case a long time ago, and may still be the case with some dinosaur librarians (they still exist, sorry!), but generally, librarians don’t like quiet. This isn’t to say we don’t appreciate students working alone or a student reading alone, but the library is a common place where everyone can work together and communicate. 2) We love collaboration. We love to see students collaborating, but we also love to collaborate with you, our classroom teachers! 3) We are technology people at heart. The printed page may die at some point (most of us hope it won’t). If you have a new Web 2.0 tool that you want to try, ask us. 4) We don’t read all day. We wish we did. 5) We don’t know everything. Sadly true. 6) We’re all passionate about something. 7) We network like crazy. 9) We protect patron privacy.

School Culture and the Library In preparation for tomorrow's edweb.net/emergingtech webinar, Pitching the Library: How to Explain What School Librarians Do, I wanted to share a project one of our New Canaan High School seniors created for his documentary filmmaking class last year. His assignment was to make a video that addressed school culture. He emailed me the day before he came down to capture most of the footage. Here is an excerpt of his email: I am currently taking a Documentary Film class and our assignment is to create a film on a school "climate" Our group decided to choose the library media center as a focus for the film because when most if not all students think of the library, ... the library as enjoyable as it is. We were hoping to interview you about the library media center and factors about it. Hope to hear back from you, Andrew On the day of the interview, I was presented with 3 questions right before the filming. About three weeks later, he sent me a link to this: My response follows: OMG!!!
