Re: [LM_NET] ELEM working with public librarians

[Lisa Hunt <lisa3moon@YAHOO.COM>]

Enthusiastically, yes!!
   
  I learned through experience that having "outside" people in to talk with, read 
to, demonstrate for, or any activity that I might otherwise do in my library 
program is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!
   
  It doesn't take much effort to work with public librarians, and my community is 
blessed with very talented professionals for both Children's and Teen's work.
   
  These guests are models and connections to the community.  I don't care if they 
seem to do something I already do with students.  These are different people and 
they bring a different experience into my school.
   
  It is easy, cheap and always fun when I work with my local public librarians.

  Many public librarians contact media specialists regarding setting up visits at 
their schools so they can come read or provide some other kind of program. In fact, 
it is written in the job descriptions of most of the public librarians that they 
MUST visit their area schools 1-3 times a year! However, I have read some postings 
in the past that reflected some media specialists don't want to be bothered by 
public librarians because they aren't offering anything they aren't already doing.

My questions are these: Do you as a media specialist want to work with your public 
librarian? and if so, what kinds of things would you like the public librarian to 
offer as a service? Is is part of the school librarian's job description to work 
with their local public children's librarian?
