School librarian

Being a brand new school librarian is both exciting and scary. All summer, you’ve planned for your new position, but today, you're feeling pretty lost.

As we approach Winter Break, I realized I haven't written many blog articles lately. I moved to a new city and started in a new-to-me library this year. I've been too busy to do much blog writing beyond my infamous New Releases posts and a couple of random book reviews. I'm about 10 book reviews behind, and they may never get written at this point. It's been an exhausting few months, but Winter Break looms large and lovely on the horizon...only one more week to go!

I know elementary librarians whose library programs thrive on the Specials Rotation. I am unfortunately not one of them. I was on the rotation only in my fifth year in the library, and it was enough to make me apply at the middle school for the next school year. Here's why it went so bad for me... #elementarylibrarians #specialsrotation #schoollibraries #librariantruths
