Using School Library Newsletters to Communicate As in many schools, my high school library is a hub of our building. Hundreds of students walk through our doors each day; administrators stop by; teachers are posted to duty at the circulation desk every period; custodians and security guards come to say hi; classes learn research–it is a space filled with energy. Because of my place in this bustling library bubble, I’m surprised every time I hear a teacher’s name I’ve never heard before. I’m only in my second year at my school, but I’ve made a point of going out of my way to meet as many teachers and employees as possible. There are still some people, though, with whom I have yet to connect.
