For those of you who work with your local school libraries and librarians, we have a video tour of the 2020/2021 21st Century School Library (SL 21). We were pleased to recognize Everett High School Library Media Center in the Lansing Public Schools as the 2020/2021 Model 21st Century School Library last summer. Joy Currie is the School Librarian for Everett High School with Principal Jaime Gundrum. The library won the Model SL 21 honor for Ms. Currie's focus on bringing life experiences to Everett High School students as well as academic support. Joy has reached out to a variety of community groups to help students achieve in their academic and personal lives, creating an outstanding program in the process. In a typical year, we would have visited Everett High School and Joy would have been able to host visitors to her library. This of course is an unusual year. So Joy has done a great video tour of her library and her programs for everyone. Please see the video link below to learn about her work and get some great ideas.
