This title offers pre-service, newly practicing, and seasoned
school librarians opportunities for reflection as well as inspiring
strategies for enacting four core values of the profession. The
school library profession has been in "crisis" for more than a
decade. Educational decision-makers have not been made aware of or
sold on the core values of school librarianship and its value to
students, classroom teachers, administrators, and the entire school
community. Budgetary priorities often do not include school
librarians, resulting in a lack of funding and the elimination of
many positions, which can cause many school librarians to feel
vulnerable and afraid. Guideposts are needed to offer today's
school librarians a chance to connect or reconnect with their
passion for literacy, learning, and serving that led them to the
profession. Core Values in School Librarianship: Responding with
Commitment and Courage provides preservice, newly practicing, and
seasoned school librarians with opportunities for thoughtful
reflection alongside inspiring strategies for gathering courage and
enacting four core values of the profession. It is an important and
visionary book that all school librarians should read as they
develop in their role as leaders in their schools. Guides readers
to connect or reconnect with passion and purpose for school
librarianship, both of which are essential during times of crisis
and change Addresses the core values of librarianship with examples
of how they are enacted in the school library setting Features
diverse voices and experiences related to passion and practice of
the core values Provides opportunities for reflection to improve
practice and strengthen commitment to the work of school
librarianship Benefits library stakeholders
