Library Blogs

I've been thinking about creating a library blog all school year, but I was never quite brave enough to just jump in and start. I enjoyed exploring other library blogs and getting some ideas for what kinds of things I might post on my library blog. Here are a couple of my new favorites.

This is a high school library blog that is very similar to what I've always envisioned for elementary students. It highlights books and promotes library and school events.

This blog is written by a high school librarian named Joyce Valenza. I saw her present about Web 2.0 resources for libraries at a conference this spring. I've been sporadically reading her blog ever since. She writes about ways she uses technology in the library and reflects on instructional strategies used with students.

Emily,
I, too, love the SLJ blog. It sets a great example for all Media Specialists.

Hi Emily,
I too am excited about being able to use Blogs to help with education collaboration. I hope you share this experience with the other librarians in the district. I know I will share this with my teachers when we come back.
Keep up the great work.
