Top Ten Qualities to Look for in Your Future Library Clerk by Carrie Marting and Julie Marie Frye Let’s face it: there’s high turnover in support staff positions, even in school libraries. Some of our clerks enter the classrooms, others earn an MLS degree and head into their own school library, a few move to the other side of town, and some just can’t keep up with the fast pace of an exploring-making-learning-inventing-collaborating-coding-reading-celebrating school library. No matter why your former clerk resigned, you’ll definitely want to be involved in naming the next successful candidate. One way to do that is by articulating to your principal the specific skills and attributes you need in a successful candidate. Let’s be honest: sometimes they know, and sometimes they don’t.

Librarians and Student Leadership Why do we need librarians if students have access to the Internet and their phones? I find my first answer to this question includes the dubious term fake news. Dubious because fake news is rare; biased or misleading news is where the problems are for today’s inundated readers. But fake news is catchy, the kind of buzzword people know with an instant “a-ha” moment of recognition to employ another overused term–sorry! The response I get when I note the role school librarians play in teaching students to determine real from fake news is: “Yeah, kids today need to know how to spot what’s fake,” as if that sums up the work we do. I want to shout out all the beautiful and vital things school librarians accomplish: giving students a safe, third place for creativity and collaboration; matching the right book with the right kid; developing robust problem solvers and savvy critical thinkers; and offering vital programs and events around college readiness, literacy, and leadership.

Using Children’s Books to Address Anxiety in Schools There are many different factors behind why anxiety and depression have increased in children in recent years: limitations on free play, social media use, the current state of the political climate in this country, and more.
