Hello everyone! My name is Jen Larkin and I'm a high school librarian at EO Smith High School in Storrs, CT. I also co-teach the ARCLMS program with my partner in crime, Lisa Polack. Lisa is a middle school librarian in Ellington.
As part of our ARCLMS program, each year we host a panel discussion about Library Learning Commons - the model, how your library fits (or partially fits) that model, theory behind it, programming and your typical day, and/or even how you transformed your library to that model or are transforming it now.
We usually have no issues finding guest presenters at the elementary and middle school level - but have a hard time finding a high school librarian. And I can't be the guest presenter in my own class - LOL! Can anyone out there help? If you are a high school librarian who has, is moving towards, or has plans to move towards a learning commons model - and wants to be a guest ZOOM presenter at our MARCH 6th class (a Saturday) - please email me!
And if there are any elementary or middle school librarians who fit this description and want to join us as well - the more the merrier! We would love to provide a wide range of voices - and since it's virtual on Zoom, it's so easy to join!
I look forward to hearing back from you!
Jen Larkin
