I'm going to be a high school librarian next year!!

Posted by Dana Stemig on December 13, 2009 at 1:42pm
I found out this week that I will be the Librarian Media Teacher at Downey High School in Modesto, California next year. Currently I'm an elementary librarian in the same district so it will be the same pay and I'll keep my seniority. One advantage is that I'll be at there all week instead of having to pack up my materials and haul them to another school in the middle of the day on Wednesday like I do now. Also I won't have to wonder year to year about where I will be assign next year because high LMTs are permanently at their site. Of course, if the elementary program is cut this year I will be very, very glad to be at high school because I'll be a librarian still. I love being a librarian so this is new job an absolutely wonderful thing that I am very grateful for.

    congratulations and you are correct. Elementary librarians are becoming obsolete. I just left an elementary school as a teacher because the school felt they did not need a librarian, but instead had two TA's as acting librarians. Needless to say, as a certified librarian I was asked to help them (yes, they paid me) As luck would have it, a local high school needed a librarian, so here I am!

    Dana,
    Congratulations! I work at a high school now and love it. Can't imagine doing anything else right now.
