How To Survive the Zombie Librarian Apocalypse This weekend I had the honor of being they keynote speaker at the Alabama School Library Association Summer Conference in Birmingham, (not Mobile, but that's another story) Alabama. From start to finish, I was so impressed by the core group of librarians who run this state association and who put on a small, but impactful, conference that focuses on supporting new librarians while also challenging all of us grizzled veterans. This is truly a great group of folks and I am super grateful for having had the chance to walk among them for a few days. Anyway, as part of my trip to Alabama, I was given the task of talking to a group of new librarians (those with 0-3 years experience in the library) from around the state about how they should approach their new adventure. I'm not sure if others in the room noticed it at the time, but at that moment a giant, blinking lightbulb went on over my head. And thus, my keynote for the Alabama School Library Association was born. #brainz

Creative Communication Distribution to Staff I try to be intentional about the communication the school library sends to building staff. If you send too many emails, there is a strong chance the staff will stop reading. I also have noticed our past print newsletters often wind up in the recycling bin. Taking an idea from our district coordinator, Cristy Bolton, we created newsletters that hang in the staff restrooms. Each month, we create a new newsletter, Library Toilet Paper, with library details and humorous musings. Typically, we include two short articles promoting school library services in some way. The interactive portion includes a word search, crossword puzzle, or sudoku. Crossword Puzzle Creator Word Search Creator Sodoku Options To bring humor to the newsletter, we typically find funny memes or Jimmy Fallon’s #hashtag responses.
