\"emileeAs a charter school librarian I often feel isolated and alone. \u00a0I don\u2019t have a district meeting to attend I have no other librarians with which to collaborate. \u00a0I know I learned how to weed and build a curriculum during my library endorsement but learning and hands on are a different story. \u00a0\u00a0I am eternally grateful for UELMA. \u00a0It has given me a place to ask questions, learn skills and make friends with other librarians. \u00a0\u00a0If you are a lonely librarian such as I, or you know other librarians who might feel lonely please reach out to me at <\/span>emccoy@paradigmhigh.org<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also please introduce them to our lovely organization of UELMA. \u00a0Our focus on the board is to reach out and let you know we are not alone but also give you resources to make you a better librarian regardless of your schooling or previous background. \u00a0I love what I do and want to be able to share and collaborate with amazing teacher librarians like you. \u00a0Thank you for promoting a love of learning. \u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ll look forward to hearing from you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lonely Librarian Part II (updated May 2018)<\/span><\/p>\n

A big thanks to all the charter school librarians who came to our break out session at UELMA. \u00a0It was nice to talk as a group about the excitements and also the concerns of being a charter school librarian. \u00a0We find ourselves in a unique situation wishing there was more ways to collaborate and talk with other librarians. \u00a0For starters we have a group email going where we can talk to each other and ask questions. If you would like to be included in this group email please email emccoy@paradigmhigh.org. \u00a0We hope to start meeting quarterly to collaborate and hope to look at other methods to reach out. In the meantime if you feel like you need more support charter school librarian or not reach out we've got your back. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
