This expanded elevator pitch is intended to give our Admin and School Board a more complete (although brief) picture of what the library is and does and means to our school community.

Access to books is vital for our students to develop a love for reading. One way I've done this is to eliminate fines for lost books. If a student can't find it (or doesn't want it to be found), then I assume the book has found a new home in a place where it is most needed.
We had the most fabulous visit with the most fabulous @AmeDyckman at Spring Grove School! Our 3rd graders are obsessed with Ame’s books and loved meeting her in person! Thanks Ame!!
Do you have an "elevator pitch" ready to go when talking about your job?
I have two versions of my elevator pitch - this brief version is memorized and I'm ready to share it at the drop of the hat.

Jon Schu is correct . . . matching a student with a book is a sacred task. Helping them find the book of their heart is a gift and a joy.

I had the privilege to present at the @4CSLA Conference this month! I love helping other schools harness the power of author visits to grow a love of literacy! Check out the links for more info.

It's been a week since we heard from @caroljago at the #CSLAConference. In her keynote speech she encouraged our community to help students overcome barriers to reading, beginning with getting our students to read for the sake of reading, to read for fun! #4csla #SchoolLibraries
