Hello! 

I thought I'd take this opportunity to remind folks that we have a collection of professional development books available to borrow here at the Middletown Library Service Center! You can stop by anytime to browse in person Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. You can search our catalog and reserve books with your school account through Primo and have them sent to your local public library for pick-up. Here are some instructions for the catalog, and just make sure to include in the request note which public library you would like them sent to and a name/contact info. I'm happy to help with searches or account questions as needed. 

We have books on a wide range of library topics, but here are some school librarianship specific titles we've recently added to the collection:

• Embracing Culturally Responsive Practice in School Libraries by Elisabet Kennedy
• Social and Emotional Learning for Picture Book Readers by Maureen Schlosser
• Complete Copyright for K-12 Librarians and Educators (second edition) by Carrie Russell
• LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Children's Librarianship: Policies, Programs, and Practices by Lucy Santos Green, Jenna Spiering, Vanessa Lynn Kitzie, and Julia Erlanger
• The Immersive Classroom: Create Customized Learning Experiences with AR/VR by Jaimie Donally
