LIBE 477- Future Vision Project Blog Post #2

Learner Considerations Last week I shared that I was debating between 2 projects, a Padlet that would consolidate a list of our digital resources for staff, and a Bookflix display that would showcase a curated selection of books for students and allow them to read summaries and watch book trailers about the titles. After weighing the pros and cons of both, I have decided to do the project that would most benefit the students at my school. I started thinking about what my current goal is in the library. This year, our school-wide goal is to build a sense of community and I am trying to continue that work in the library. I hope that this display will help to build excitement around reading and the library, as well as continue to foster a reading culture in our school. The digital aspect should help to appeal to students, as it has been shown that “in today’s fast paced world the desire for expediency has promoted students to place a premium on information that can be f...

LIBE 477- Inquiry Blog Post #5

Putting It All Together The main topic that really resonated with me from this section of the course was about Fostering a Reading Culture in my school. I feel that this is an area that has really suffered over the past 2 years of restrictions and is very important to instilling a love of reading in students. Our school-wide goal this year has been to build back our feeling of school community, with house teams and other fun events.

The Australian School Library Association brands Teacher Librarians as curriculum leaders and...

LIBE 477- Inquiry Blog Post#4

Developing Libraries When I read the topic for this week’s blog post, my first thought went to a book called “ My Librarian Is a Camel: How Books Are Brought to Children Around the World ” by Margriet Ruurs. In this book, Ruurs examines how 13 different countries utilize mobile libraries to bring books to children in remote areas. While many of the countries in the book were developing nations, I was surprised to see Canada in there as well. Nunavut is featured as having a Borrower-by-Mail program where books are mailed to children instead of being delivered in person. I was intrigued by this program, but I decided to focus on the programs that exist in Mongolia for my research. Mongolia is a country with a population of 3.278 million people and there are approximately 1,500 libraries to serve them. Most of these libraries are located in the most populated northern cities of the country and are not accessible to people in rural areas. The main pu...
