Reasons Why You Should "Bug" Your School Librarian Today

 

HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL LIBRARY MONTH! 


Did you know that the month of April is a month that highlights the importance of school libraries? It's also a month to highlight the services that your school library offers. School librarians nation wide are sharing the cool ideas, services, and projects they provide for their patrons, both students and staff--this month and all year long. 

In other words, your school librarian is here to help at all times! 

In fact, in our library, I hope you "bug" me as often as you need. 

Here are a few things you can bug me about, and I will stop what I'm doing to make sure you are assisted. 

*Have a project and need a book or digital source, and don't know where to search? Worry not--we can hunt down quick and easy resources for you to get you started. We love looking for good information--and are trained to do so! 


*Have a technical problem? We can assist with Google Classroom, Google Drive, Gmail, and Device issues? We can help you save, print, or problem solve most digital/technical issues.  


*Writing a paper and don't know how to start? We can help you brainstorm topic ideas, and make sure you are on the right track. We can also check in on your progress and help if you get stuck. 

*MLA or APA questions? We can aide in citation and credit giving quandaries. 

*Need a place a quiet place to work and/or be creative? We have the space for you. Our library has been engineered to be a great space for recharging and soaking in relaxing vibes. 


*Want to win cool prizes? Check out regular contests and events--most will highlight your talents and will include simple but fun tasks.  


*Interested in learning a new hobby or craft? Look at our Makerspace instructions and supplies to do so.  

*Looking for information on "tough topics?" We have lots of books and resources geared for teens on things like mental health, physical health, and positive relationships. 



AND last but NOT Least...
*Are you an avid reader? Or maybe even a reluctant reader? Either way, we can help when you need to find that PERFECT read. We have all kinds of lists, recommendations, and opinions on the newest (and oldest) good reads out there. Whether it be for a book report, or reading for pleasure, as book experts, we find what works best for you. 


**Don't forget to join our Library Advisory Board to have even more say-so on our how library fits your needs.  


In this space you are welcome and appreciated; we hope that you "bug" us today!

Student Guest Post: Lost in the Library

Books have the ability to take us to a different place. With enough imagination your mind can take you anywhere. We are lucky to have such a great place to be able to read and get lost in a book. Everyone has the ability to get lost, you just have to find the right book. Some books that I enjoyed most: Until Friday Night : Series that tells about the love story between two unthinkable lovers. A football player and a normal girl find themselves facing the hardest moments of their life together. Somehow they manage to find peace in their crazy worlds together. Book two and book three follow the love stories of their friends who also struggle to find their true loves. The Naturals : Also a series of four books about teenagers who have insane abilities. They are natural profilers who look at crime suspect’s emotions, background, crime scenes, and even a human lie detector. The four books follow their crazy lives that are far from normal.

Teen Reading: Finding Your Way Back to Adventure

Are you a teen that used to read, but over time, have drifted away from it? As a high school librarian, I hear it a lot. Many of my readers express that they used to read "all the time," but due to homework, work, and social events, their moments of reading for pleasure are far and few between. In fact, "In recent years, less than 20 percent of U.S. teens report reading a book for pleasure" ("Teens Reading"). It is notable that many teens wish to read, but are not sure how to fit in to their schedule, or where to start to jump start the routine again.

Action adventure? Comics? Fact books? Let your librarian know you previous favorites, and we can start from there. You can also use GoodReads or Amazon--just type in the book you loved and new recommendation
