Drumroll, please...

It's been a while since my I updated my blog, but the big news is that I am now a certified school librarian! After finishing my practicum last fall, and then my LAST class in the spring, I began my search for jobs, and ended up landing an awesome role at the Loker School in Wayland.

As part of my new role, I wanted to create a blog to share what's happening in my library and wrestled with whether or not to resurrect this one, or start anew.

Ultimately, I think the blog title still holds. Being a school librarian (or any type of teacher, for that matter), is a constant work in progress. There is always some element of "becoming" as you hone your craft and find new ways to reach your students. Especially through my experience of being an older student, I hope that I'll always aspire to keep on learning and becoming the best LMS I can be.

And, I'm back...

I really had the best of intentions when I made my last post for my course last semester about keeping my blog going, but alas...

In sum, I wound up applying (and getting accepted) to the M. Ed program in Library Media Studies at Salem State and launched right into a Survey of Children's Literature course this summer, which explains my blogging hiatus. Lots of reading of excellent children's books (plus a killer midterm assignment, including 66 annotations, but who's counting?) took the place of my blogging. But, now we are onto the YA portion of the class and we are back to required blogging (hi, Barb). Which is a good thing, I think.

Hopefully, I can keep it going this time!

One step closer

I've been hemming and hawing about just applying to the LMS program at Salem State.

Basically, I need to take the MTEL and get a few recommendations to complete my application. 

Made a special trip to my husband's office to print this sucker out. Been awhile since I took a standardized test, so I think I know what I'll be doing now that I turned my assignment in early. 

One step closer, indeed!
