In this column, we’d like to hear from YOU about the many hats you wear… not just during the day (with library, tech, homeroom, lunch duty, advisor, coordinator), but before your turn as a librarian - or even now, when it’s ‘after-hours’! Let’s hear what our colleagues have been up to!
Tricia Svendenson, Bishop Feehan High School:
Several times during my library career I have had the pleasure of setting up libraries in other parts of the world. In 2004, I spent a summer living with a Zulu family in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa and established a library at Mbazwana Elementary School. In 2006, I was asked to start a library in Guaimaca, Honduras at a mission. I went again to Guaimaca and set up a library at a school. It would be fun to go back to those schools and see how the libraries are doing!
Laura Gardner, Dartmouth Middle School:
This summer I attended a Climate Reality training in Minneapolis for three days with 1700 other people and former Vice President Al Gore. Now I'm a trained Climate Reality Leader ready to get started on climate activism.
