Greetings! My name is Amanda, and you might know me from my flagship library site, Adventures in Library Land. I love that site. It's super fun to keep track of my daily shenanigans in the library: fun displays I create, bulletin boards I slap together, programming I help run, etc. The more I've been working and thinking and researching, though, I've decided that I need a place to keep track of all of the professional resources I find in my searches and schooling. A lot of those reading Adventures are supportive family, friends [slightly] interested and curious in my new job, and book nerd buddies. They aren't necessarily looking to read about the newest lesson plan template I found online.
So, today I reveal and begin Adventures in Library Land's first ever supplemental blog: Resources for Library Land. I'll be keeping track of and labeling professional resources that could help others or me in their careers as a youth or school librarian. (School librarianship is my focus, but this also bleeds into youth librarianship for public libraries. I'm sorry but I'll rarely have anything for academic or adult librarians.) Up to this point, I've kept random bookmarks of these resources on my laptop or home PC, and this is not as organized as I'd want a resource guide to be...and I can't share it with others who might find some use from my finds!
I'm looking forward to this supplement for my Adventures blog, and don't worry: I'll still be writing about my adventures in the Uni High Library and any other library where I have the fortune of finding myself. I hope you continue the adventure of becoming a school librarian with me, this time as I gather important things I can do stuff with. :)
