Have you ever wished you could have more conversations with other school librarians? Have you looked for a supportive community to share the challenges and joys of being a school librarian at your grade level? Do you want to talk to your colleagues that "get it”?

This group is for you!

In LiNC, you will be among friends. We will foster a supportive, collaborative, joyful community of school librarians in Monroe One, Monroe 2, and Genesee Valley BOCES regions. Throughout this fifteen week Schoology course, some discussions will be K-12 and others will be split by grade level.

This work will be asynchronous, with weekly discussions and resources posted by the facilitators, as well as opportunities for you to set the topic. Each week should take only about a half hour, so you have the opportunity to earn a half credit of CTLE per week. You can participate as much or as little as you would like, and credits will be granted based upon how much you choose to participate. Since capacity varies throughout the year, we understand and expect that not everyone will be able to join in every discussion. We hope this will be a place to share advice and resources, to ask questions, to validate your experiences, and to learn from each other.

This group is for PreK-12 School Librarians only. The first discussion will open on Friday, January 24 and refresh each week following (aside from breaks).
