"raising minds" parenting class in the high school library - DSC02035

I really liked this photo because it shows the wonderful possibilities of librarians being willing to make connections with families. In our library classes we have heard over and over again that we need to collaborate with administration, teachers, students, parents, etc. This picture shows this theory put into action!

I want my future library to be a "happening" place for all of the patrons who can use it. I love the idea of having night workshops in the library for parents--like this photo shows--to get them excited about my school library. Parents who are happy about the school library have a major impact on how their children feel about the library. Who knows? Maybe this librarian is teaching parents the same lesson about Media Literacy that my classmates and I learned from JaDene a couple of nights ago!
