Many times administration do not know what a librarian's job entails.
Quote
“Librarians have the ability to be an important go-between for teachers and administrators. If there is a
positive relationship between the librarian, faculty/staff, and administration the school climate is positively affected and students are more successful.”
-- Suzanne Anders, Principal, TNT Primary School
Be Positive
Quote
“Communication is key to a positive relationship with your district administration. Keep them in the loop about upcoming projects,
activities happening in your library, library needs, and if a problem arises let them know so they aren't caught off guard by a community member or parent. ”
-- Meagan England, Elementary and Accountability Supervisor , Claiborne County Schools
