Info to Help You in your Quest as an Educator
A note from my laptop to yours
Dear Brave and Fearless Staff,
It is always nice to see you! I hope your summer was a relaxing one. I am excited to start another year with all of you. To help get things going this year, here are a few things I wanted to share and/or remind you about…
- The library staff doesn’t own the library. You and your students do. You can recommend materials and have a voice in the library policies. Feel free to share!!
- Planning is a good thing. I will do my best to get what you need as quickly as I can, but the more time you give me the better.
- The library media center provides books and so much more. Although books are one of the more important things you can find at the library I want to remind you about the library website. We currently have a subscription to many databases that support your classroom themes. The online catalog is available so you can find books and other resources.
- The best resource in the library media center is the library media teacher. I want to help you plan a project, co-teach a lesson, share new technology tools, find professional research, give insight into an ethical problem, or answer a reference question. And if I can’t do it, I will help you find someone who can.
- The library media center can help meet your student’s reading needs. The LMC curriculum helps to promote children’s literature and uses activities to help students enjoy the stories even more. I do my best to keep your students “hooked on reading” by recommending reading material that is appropriate for them. Children will also develop their information literacy skills through project-based activities when they come to the library.

I hope your year will be a positive one!
See you soon!
Best regards,
Jennifer Gibson-Millis a.k.a. Mrs. G-M
