ASK ME WHAT TO READ. Go ahead. I dare you. |
LIBRARY TECHS RULE! Because we do. |
LIBRARY GUIDE : HOW MAY I HELP? For volunteers, or student helpers, or whoever. I think "Guide" is a nice general term, right? |
In the school district I work in, they got rid of all the credentialed site Librarians, so we Library Technicians are running the show 100% of the time. And I feel like we work hard and know what we're doing, so bitches better RESPECT.
Also, because of the lack of staffing, my trusty library volunteers (secret identities: my mom & my aunt!) have really stepped up and worked hard to keep various services and programs running for the sake of the kids.
Just sayin'.
BOOKS ARE MY BEST FRIENDS

VINTAGE BOOK FROM 1986 : "I Hate School"
I HATE SCHOOL : How to hang in & when to drop out by Claudine G. Wirths & Mary Bowman-Kruhm Illustrations by Patti Stren |
One of my fellow library technicians sent this to me. It was a result of one of her weeding frenzies, ditching obsolete materials. This is from 1986, and "school" was a pretty different animal then than it is now.
I like how the subtitle, "How to hang in & when to drop out" indicates that dropping out might be a valid option for you. Maybe if you're, like, SUPER fucked-up, they advise you to go ahead and quietly drop out. Ride the rails as a hobo, maybe.
Either my friend only sent me the dust jacket, or I lost the book itself, because all I have is this dust jacket and many questions about the dropping out option. Should I have dropped out? I really REALLY hated school. What if I chose poorly by deciding to "hang in?" Shit.
