"The mission of the school library program is to ensure that students and staff are effective users of ideas and information. The school librarian empowers students to be critical thinkers, enthusiastic readers, skillful researchers, and ethical users of information" AASL (2009a)”
My words to live by. I found the second chapter in about the role libraries hold to be exciting. I am working in a more traditional setting and would really like to see the shift to teaching life skills. Sometimes it seems like too much, especially since the skills are so important.
Teaching life skills connects nicely with Stiggens Assessment FOR Learning that I am learning in my Edcuation course, as well as with the idea of backwards design in lesson planning.

Imagine how user-friendly a library arranged like a bookstore would be! Especially if the staff had the same service mentality of a B&N!
