The Stigma around Teacher Librarians

While "stigma" may be a strong term to describe certain stereotypes about teacher librarians, this light and simple article describes ten factors that historically have created a certain association of habits and behaviors for teacher librarians. Some of the traditional values connected to library work are so accurate that the article holds humor in the truth. Poking fun at stereotypes while busting myths about how librarians feel about the library and it's patrons is included in this short and witty blog article.

I think articles like these that summarize new ways to understand how libraries and teacher librarians serve and support a library are enlightening.
