So, it should not have been a surprise when I jumped at a chance to work as the sole librarian at a very small independent school. Working alone provides a number of advantages. I get to be the go-to person for reading recommendations and curriculum support. On the downside, while I had the opportunity to develop working relationships with many of the teachers, administration had little reason to wander into the library.
Being on my own in the library has meant learning how to become my own biggest cheerleader. Hill Top is a very small community. This was a great start to making myself known.
