I found this podcast on youtube.com when I searched for elementary literacy programs. I liked the video entitled, Stony Creek Elementary School- 2009 TEAMS Award Winner, because it embodies the things I find important in the school librarian's position on his/her campus. I believe it is the responsibility of the librarian to help foster and build relationships with students in order to increase students' reading comprehension, fluency, accuracy and overall love of reading. I love the part of the video when the library media specialist (love the title by the way) says that when children hear an adult read them a story, the fancy, colorful cover of the book is replaced with a face. This is a gentle reminder that books and reading inspire wonderful memories for children of all ages.
