I often hear, "Mrs. Adams, our school has over 1,000 students. How do you run a school library by yourself?"
My response: "Did you know that Bat Woman is a librarian? Yes, librarians are superheroes!"
In reality, it would not be possible to manage a 15,000 book collection, (circulate books, repair damaged books, review, evaluate, and order new books, weed old and irrelevant books, oh and organize and shelve books) manage the budget for databases, books, ebooks, DVDs, and periodicals, run book fairs, collaborate with teachers, search materials related to curricular topics for students and teachers, service the Evers community and other students and teachers in NISD, teach information literacy skills, schedule author/illustrator/ and presenter visits, assist teachers and students with technology, promote school wide reading incentives,... and so much more without the help of VOLUNTEERS! Because of district budget cuts, library assistants in elementary schools are obsolete. It would be impossible to do all this without parent and student volunteers. VOLUNTEERS ARE SUPERHEROES TOO!
