Magic In Your Library
Share the magic in your library!The PR team for Conference 2023 is looking for stories of the magic happening in your library. We want to share on our social media outlets the great things NC School Librarians are doing in our libraries. But we need your help for that. Please consider submitting a photo or video that showcases your and/or your library's magic. It can be small magic, big magic, or anything in between. An example of this in my library is my aquarium. It has one fish and one snail. And that snail is a small magic. Students have named it all kinds of things, but whatever they name it makes it personal to them. Some students come in just to say hi to the snail. Some students say hi to the snail before they say hi to me. This small thing that I provided means a lot to them and helps make them feel more comfortable in the library. We will be taking these submissions until September 30, 2023. Our goal is to publish every submission. With almost 2000 members, we really hope to be overwhelmed with stories. :-) https://forms.gle/NBADmwPYwUZyKaZw8 Thank you for reading this and for letting us share the magic you are doing. |

Susan Ringo, Librarian at West Wilkes Middle School Kristy Sartain, Librarian, EE Smith High School in Cumberland County Something I have strived for in every library I've worked in is having comfortable seating. Those old wooden chairs just do not make for a welcoming environment. I am fortunate that my Principal understands my vision and has allowed me to add couches so students can work in comfort while they're in the library. I was VERY lucky to get these couches for free and having them is making a difference in students' attitudes about the library. Students race in to be the first person on them or to throw their backpack on them to save their space. One student named "his spot" and it is now known as "The Bueno Couch". Be sure to follow Kristy for more magical moments in the library:
