This question often comes up in librarian circles in the spring: there's money left in the budget, and suddenly, it's yours. You have a week to say how you'd like to spend it. What do you choose? Of course the answer depends on so many factors - what is the current age and condition of the library, who are the primary users, what programming is most common or has the greatest need, and so forth. But for new librarians in new circumstances, here is a place to start.

I'm one week away from my two-month mark as a school librarian. Many things have been new and different for me, from learning the names of 70 colleagues and knowing what they teach, to knowing where items in the collection are shelved and how to catalog new pieces. The budget comes with a huge set of rules and regulations (as it should), and finding a successful method for scheduling and learning the school's student broadcast system are a few more components of the new job that involve learning - in addition to the main task of teaching students and supporting teachers and families with resources.

I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of students and families in IA, CT, NC, MO, TX, and Canada. I love being a teacher-librarian! Categories
