Synopsis

School librarians are called upon to provide leadership in many and varied areas. This book shows them how.

More than ever, it is vital that librarians demonstrate leadership skills that will reinforce their own value and that of their institutions. The Many Faces of School Library Leadership offers insights and practical suggestions for such leadership through 10 essays contributed by outstanding leaders in the field of school librarianship.

The book covers leadership in curriculum and instruction, literacy, technology, intellectual freedom, staff development, and other equally critical areas.

It offers insights into the many leadership roles embraced by accomplished practitioners and considers the research surrounding these best practices. The book ends with a powerful chapter by renowned visionary David Loertscher that is a call for change and renewal―and an inspirational reminder of the bottom-line purpose of the profession.
