Description
Summary:School librarians must not only manage the library, but also serve as educational leaders. Farmer shows how school library programs must be planned in light of standards and school community needs. She compares and differentiates between management and leadership, and provides guidelines to help you transition from competent manager to inspiring leader. To ensure their libraries survive and thrive, school library managers need to be both responsive and proactive. Looking past the day-to-day operations of a school library, Farmer's book serves as a reality check: school libraries must align with school mission statements and policies, while simultaneously negotiating for proper budgets and resources alongside other departments.
