What will you do in your school library this year?

While we are always looking for opportunities to encourage growth and development in our school library services, and new ways to promote what we do, there are some ‘tried and trustworthy’ options for advocacy and promotion that should not be missed. The Horizon Report 2011 K-12 edition points out how important it is for school library professionals to keep technology in the forefront of our thinking. The National Australian Library Associations ALIA and ASLA have provided a site to help us tell our community What a Difference a School Library Makes.

I really want to share with you Buffy Hamilton’s Annual Report. She shows us three key things:

what you can and should be aiming for in your school library each year (even if you start small)
strategies for promotion beyond the school through media promotion
how to ‘package’ a professional annual report (even if you start small)

Congratulation to the Creekview High School library team for another great year. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
