The Clueless Librarian |
There's the knowledgeable librarian. There's the sexy librarian. There's the professionally trained librarian. And then there's me :: the clueless librarian. |
The Librarian #4
I am a librarian in a school setting. I am a professional with a Master’s degree and am a certified teacher in two states. I teach basic life skills, like how to find information, evaluate it critically, and use it in an ethical and creative way. I help children explore their passions and find out what about their world interests them the most. I am not a babysitter for teachers’ planning periods, I am a teacher too and the time children spend with me is valuable. My job cannot be done effectively by volunteers, and managing, cataloging and promoting a library collection both physical and electronic is just as demanding as having your own classroom of children.
