Advice for new TLs

Over at School Libraryland, Justin has distilled what he’s learned in his first year as a school librarian into excellent advice for those now looking for their first job. 

For even more suggestions and guidance for newbies, check out GraceAnne DeCandido’s Ten Graces for New Librarians, and my own Y’s Guide to Starting a New School/Library/Job.

Interesting to see how we all stress the same survival strategies:

  • Develop a support system
  • Keep learning
  • Don’t try to conquer the world
  • Remember to have a life
So to all the new graduates out there — welcome to the wonderful world of school librarianship, where life is never dull!
