Teacher-Librarian

I am just about to start a program to extend my degree in teaching by becoming a teacher-librarian. After thinking about teaching and my career I came to the realization that being a teacher-librarian would be the perfect fit for me. It will hopefully combine all my favorite things. I love reading stories to children, I think that it would be great to support teachers with resources and I always loved doing displays in my own classroom so I think that I would love doing multiple themed book displays and bulletin boards. And of course the idea of spending time organizing books makes me happy; labelling, covering, categorizing and shelving books just feels right.

I remember when I was in teachers college I asked to spend some time in the library as part of my program and in one of the libraries I was in I could not believe how unorganized the librarians office once. All I could do was think about how much amazing organizing I could do if I could have a few days alone in that library.

I love libraries in general. Just walking through a library and looking at all the rows of books gives me a sense of calm and of course I am a huge fan of the services, especially now that I am a parent. So hooray for libraries and librarians.
