Why We Need a Librarians Council

Now that MLK Day is over, and the Rowen collection has been weeded, and the book cases painted, our next steps loom large!

Besides continued renovations to the library space, the most important part of our work is about to take place: buying new books for the collection.

A librarian's council will serve Library Build as interested, and dedicated librarians who can offer their experience and expertise on purchasing for certain age groups and themes. This is an important job because we want Rowen's library to be as great as it possibly can be so that the students can use their library again for the first time in 20 years!

Librarians will also help us at Library Build to best optimize the layout of the space for maximum student learning.

Serving on the council is not as hard as being on the Board of Directors - and certainly more fun - who doesn't want to design a library from the ground up!?

The principal at Rowen is very excited to see the Librarian's Council come to life! He is interested in having the council put together plans and ideas for the Rowen teachers to look over. All input and collaboration will of course, benefit the students.
