| The burning of the Library at Alexandria |
I think that this is a super vague and somewhat silly quote. How many people will really understand that reference? (It refers to the Library at Alexandria that was burned down - thought to contain much of the ancient world knowledge that had been written).
Many times I find that smart people do smart things that make us feel not so smart in comparison. I hate comparison - don't you. The whole reason I decided to become a librarian was to help people, create connections and my dream of dreams is to make others as passionate about books as I am.
As I work through this first year of being a teacher librarian here at Bear Creek K8, I hope to share some of what I dream of accomplishing and sharing with students and teachers. To make us all feel smart and valued. And it is true, I do love to read, but my real motivation comes from students. I love to help them get smart and with their curious minds they have no where to go but up.
This year will be a whole new experience for me and although only 8 weeks have past, I feel like I have already done a lifetime of work (in a good way). The learning curve is super steep, but I feel truly blessed to be doing this work and being with your student. I hope that they learn as much as I do this year and that we continue to grow smarter together.
