A3 cont'd: If school is at all "not normal", I think she will be curating more online resources, leading virtual book clubs, doing a Battle of the Books (basically anything to promote reading). Possibly leading more PD as well. Also addressing tech equity issues.

A3: If school resumes normally, I think it won't change a lot at my school except she may help w/ a reading group since there will be more kids below grade level who need support, and on the other side, kids who need a challenge after being out of school for so long. #LUSLIB600

@Colleen_Savage Wow- attending all the grade level meetings is a HUGE responsibility! I'm sure the teachers really appreciated your involvment.

A2 continued: She also put together a list of resources that we have school subscriptions to and resources that were offering free subscriptions with school closures, and she sent it out to the parents and teachers. #LUSLIB600

A2: Our librarian did a few different things. She did a bi-weekly virtual read aloud. She put together a "choice board" each week with lots of different reading or research activities the kids could do (some were with online resources and some were with books). #LUSLIB600
