IB library blog post
by Klaudia Janek 27 Aug '19

27 Aug '19

I just wrote a blog post for Follett Community about being a new IB Librarian. https://www.follettcommunity.com/s/article/new-to-ib-this-year-klaudia-janek Hopefully it also demystifies what it's like working in an IB school library :) I work on reaching out to my local public libraries so that they can help my students with resources that I do not have. If you have any local IB programs at your schools, I'm sure they would appreciate a public library contact.
