Share Your Story...We Need Accurate Narrative of the School Library. A NEW Learning From The Library Podcast Episode With Courtney Pentland.

 

We have a NEW Future Ready Librarian Podcast episode to share, friends.  This time, I welcomed Courtney Pentland to the show. 

As shared online, 

In the best of times, school librarians must be continuous advocates for materials and resources, funding, collaboration, technology, and more. School librarians are one of the only teaching positions in the school that need to continually justify not only their needs but also their existence. With increased attacks on intellectual freedom and proposed legislation in states across the country that will affect school libraries and librarians, it is even more important now that we take back the narrative about what school libraries and school librarians do and provide for their school communities. 

We cannot let others’ voices who are willfully ignorant about our work drive the conversation. We must continuously share our own stories to ensure that accurate narratives of the school library are part of local and national conversations.

You will find Episode 504 here, along with others from all five seasons of Leading From The Library.
