Customer Reviews
I'm a prospective library media specialist and this book gave me so many great ideas that I can use when I hopefully begin working in the field someday. I really liked how the chapters are laid out and common concerns and staff pushback are addressed with realistic ways to overcome challenges in the library. A must-read for any new (and probably even seasoned) school librarian.
So excited to have this book. Especially love the "What you can do tomorrow" section. Gives all new librarians a starting place and a compass to what is important to get students and staff into the library. Along with all the books I am reading for my MLS degree this book also gives common sense advice and techniques that update the space in a library. I am lucky that the librarian before me had this vision- maybe she read this book- and I can just continue to follow in her footsteps to "Hack the School Library!"
Beautiful, easily-digestible content
