Keeping up with blogging

There are times when I think blogging is a great endeavor. A great place to share stories and reflect. Then there is the fact that I haven't updated this page since December and it's now September. It's not that there haven't been things happen in my library world in those 8 months. Rather, it's called time and remembering to pause to reflect.

So the new school year is well underway now. The regulars have reestablished their spots in the library. As is typical, planning gets disrupted by reality and things have to be rescheduled. Still now that year number 5 at my current school is underway I do feel that I know the school and the teachers and they know me and together we've created a functioning program that serves 3100 students pretty well. Is there room for improvement? Always...so what will I do this year to improve...

I want to create simple how to guides that staff can use even if they don't come into the library. Go Animate, Movie Maker, how to do this best is the question.
I want to make the library resources mobile device friendly and get students using them that way.
I would still like to create book trailers but there never seems to be enough time and it's been one of my sacrifices.

Still, I love library world. It's now my 9th year as a school librarian and despite the roller coaster of budget in California, it was a good decision for me.
