Kowalsky,
S. (2011). Reach out, make connections, thrive. Teacher Librarian: 38(5), 67-68.
Summary:
An inspirational, energetic article full of suggestions for how to build
community support for the school library through programming (such as a Soup-er
Bowl party) that attracts diverse users – meaning students and the staff at her high school site.
Evaluation:
I chose this article because the abstract promised it would be chock full of
ideas to make the library a more engaging, collaborative place, and it
delivered. This article has taught me
that the librarian has to be the advocate for collaboration. There is little
time to sit behind the computer; a librarian has to get out into the public
sphere and make people aware of what the library has to offer, and invite staff
and students in, or people will not come in and use it the way they should.
