I teach at Hibbard School in the diverse Albany Park Community. Our poverty level is 88%; most of our students are English Learners.
After over 25 years as a classroom teacher, I have become a certified school librarian. Our library is in year 2 of reopening after being shuttered for 7 years.
Many changes over these 7 years require attention: updating the collection to reflect our school and greater community, curating resources to support new curriculum in core subject areas, updating our library technology, and creating a makerspace. We've been focused on collection development. We've also discovered many avid readers in our student body.
Students of color and living in poverty statistically have less access to a school library. This compounds the barriers they face to achieve a better future in an information-heavy society. It is my goal to help them overcome those barriers.
