I constantly feel stretched too thin as I manage elementary (4K-5), middle (6-8), and high schools. I come from a K-4 space, and I've been in my current position for 2 years. I often feel pulled in so many directions, but I am concerned about media literacy/digital citizenship at 6-12, so I am trying to focus more on those spaces, cultivating better relationships with the staff to help me help them with the skills students need before we let them out into the real world. How do you balance your time between buildings and make certain you are there enough for your staff and students? - I have tried having a specific schedule, but I think I need to go a step further.

Policies and resources to help with book challenges.

We are in the process of creating a SWOT analysis and Vision Statement (just for the library). Has anyone gone through this exercise and have any good resources to take a look at?

I'm worried we won't have time to get to everything. Stay connected during and after this conference. Many of us are on the Twitter and Facebook. School librarians are a great community and here to help you with any question you might have.

I started my position two years ago. And it's very different than what I learned as an assistant in at a university campus where librarins had a team. In my case, as a new high school librarian, I'm alone with limited mentorship from an old boss. Are there any groups that provide some mentorship for newer librarians or guides we can follow?

Can you please share the information about how to get into that book club?

we’ve shifted into a collection that has leveled access (at a HS) for example, some books are only available to seniors without guardian permission.

I struggle how to follow directives here. Any advice?

I stepped into a position after our librarian retired after 32 years. She never got rid of ANY books and we have way TOO MANY books.  What is a good process for thinning out the books and deciding what stays and what goes?

I know James is a fan of the open library design where anyone can swing through and check anything out at any time (with some automation), what are your best strategies to promote open and free flow library media designs?   (less structure and less control)
