Review ------ "Hacking School Libraries offers specific strategies, supported by thoughtful rationales, for upgrading your school library into a thriving, current program and space. Early career librarians and veterans alike will find solutions and inspiration in the tips, lessons learned, and stories shared by authors Kristina Holzweiss and Stony Evans, with additional reflections culled from creative, respected school librarians representing a range of schools and grade levels." -Rebecca J. Morris, School Library Connection "I love the Hack Learning books, and this new book, Hacking School Libraries, fits perfectly into the series. This book is an indispensable resource for all librarians, and also the administrators who support them. Kristina and Stony offer up incredible, easy-to-follow hacks for any grade-level library! I can't wait to implement some of them in my library!" -Elissa Malespina, Teacher-Librarian, Past ISTE Librarians Network President "I really like the quick reading style and the focus banners for each hack. This is a very useful guide for new school library professionals or those thirsting for easy, practical, and inexpensive ideas to revitalize their school libraries. My highest praise is that it's written by practitioners FOR practitioners." -Dr. Bea Baaden, Director of the School Library Program, Palmer School of Library and Information Science, Long Island University "Hacking School Libraries is a gem! Even as a non-librarian, I am finding actionable steps that I can use in my own practice. The hacks are solid, and the authors even include ways to overcome pushback. They also highlight the work of other school librarians so that readers can visualize these hacks in action." -Sarah Thomas, Founder, EduMatch "Hacking School Libraries is the practical book that I have been waiting for a teacher-librarian to publish! This is the book I will be recommending to school librarians who want constructive and attainable suggestions on how to not only transform their library space, but also their library practices and in turn, their school. The stories and ideas from Stony, Kristina, and other respected colleagues in the school library world spotlight tried-and-true practices that have transformed school library programs across the nation." -Sherry Gick, Director of Innovative Learning--Five Star Technology Solutions, Teacher-Librarian, 2015 Library Journal Mover & Shaker Read more ( javascript:void(0) )
