The School Library Manager by Blanche Woolls
The seventh edition of this comprehensive school library management text expands upon the role of the school librarian, especially in the ever-growing digital realm, and highlights the importance of school librarian leadership and outreach.
In an era of budget cuts, reduced staffing, and a global pandemic, it's more important than ever for new LIS professionals and established school librarians and administrators to demonstrate the value of school libraries to decision makers.
This revised and updated edition of a classic text adds two well-known authors to help lead readers through the many essential management tasks and skills required to administer the successful school library program. It emphasizes the importance of the school librarian in providing digital access to information for teachers and students, describes how facilities are being modified to accommodate new resources and programming, and offers new ways to use AASL standards to evaluate programs.
All chapters are updated, and the text addresses such timely subjects as providing information resources when students, teachers, and librarians are interacting online. A new chapter highlights the importance of the school librarian's leadership in schools, districts, and communities. This invaluable textbook teaches practical skills for school library management and offers inspiration and guidance for growing LIS careers.

The School Library Manager is an exciting and essential text for school librarians. Whether stepping into a first library role or reflecting on one’s practice after a few—or more than a few!—years on the job, this updated edition of a classic offers sound guidance driven by core values, thoughtful questions for librarians to ask and pursue, and specific strategies for fostering professional development and growth. The appendices are a gold mine, equipping individual librarians, graduate course instructors, or district supervisors with valuable resources including advocacy tools, checklists for a year’s tasks, and ideas for student volunteer programs. * Rebecca J.
