A structured approach to advocacy for K-12 school librarians
focuses their energy on an active path that showcases library
programs and resources and expresses the essential role librarians
serve in school and student success. Keeping a library program
vital requires regular reflection about current practices and a
willingness to implement changes that will position the library and
library staff should they be threatened with elimination. Simply
Indispensable: An Action Guide for School Librarians helps
librarians do just that. The book begins with an explanation of the
need to act and then offers a systematic approach to taking action.
Each chapter is devoted to an active path: attracting patrons;
interacting with teachers, parents, administrators, and the
community; communicating; reacting to "situations;" working for
reinstatement if the worst happens, and more. The book covers
advocacy—from the subtle exercise of developing excellent
programs to the overt outreach of Legi-Days. Additionally, there is
specific information about what to do when the RIF notice or pink
slip arrives or if cuts are made, including how to properly close a
library. After putting these actions into effect, school librarians
will have a cadre of supporters ready to speak for them should the
need arise.
