Publisher's Synopsis
School librarianship is too often wrongly dismissed as unnecessary and obsolete. Here you'll find a host of ways to fight off stereotypes, move forward with your mission, and make yourself an invaluable member of your school faculty.
With cuts in funding and positions occurring across the country every day, it's time to consider what's working and what needs to change in order for your program to thrive. This guide sets up various scenarios with sidebar zombie graphics to illustrate several different kinds of problematic roles school librarians can fall into over time. Subsequent chapters focus on how to address these issues and become a "zombie fighter."
