Location: Morial Convention Center, Ideas Xchange Area 2 (LLX Marketplace, Hall J)
Ever wonder what happens in other school libraries, what their circulation policies look like? So did we. That's why we surveyed 426 school librarians and 205 former students. Questions focused on circulation policies and library experiences. In this session, we’ll share the results of our surveys and ask participants to examine their own school library policies and practices. Participants will be encouraged to consider these policies in relation to best practices and equity. Be prepared to share ideas and strategies in an open, honest, supportive discussion.
Learning Objectives:
Identify trends in school library circulation policies.
Compare their current policies to those of other school libraries.
Analyze school library policies through an equity lens and aggregate best practices.
