ELEM: Compiled list of answers to Help! New Librarian

[Cindy Lund <cindy55twu@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi everyone,

I have compiled my list of answers to the following question.

My question is that I will be the new librarian at an elementary school, and the 
library is currently being rearranged because they put in some new carpet.  (The 
previous librarian retired.)  They are adding a computer lab to the library and 
there is no wall dividing the library and the computer lab.  The computers will go 
against the wall and be on one side of the library.  It takes up less than half of 
the whole space.  How can I make the library appealing and useful to the students?

And, also since I will be new to the school, how can I make the students and 
teachers want to come in to meet me and the (so to speak) new library?  I was 
thinking of having a library tour or an orientation if I could..

Also, where can I go for help on any other issues for elementary libraries?  All of 
your ideas and suggestions will be appreciated!



*These are all wonderful ideas!  I can’t wait to get started! In case anyone

is interested in these answers, please email me and I will forward them to you!

Sincerely,
