I went to the School Library Association conference the other weekend. During the session on school tranisitions the speaker suggested that the librarian could wear different badges during the year. This would mean the kids would remember you and think the library was fun.
Now i have no idea if this will impress the youth of today (though a few of my new sixth years did say they liked my ‘Einstein is relatively good’ badge) but the school has a badge maker I could borrow and I had crafty inspiration.
So Wednesday night was badge making with a librarian theme! Now I am rubbish at thinking what slogans to use so I hit cafepress and looked for librarian themed badges. My favourites include ‘Question Authority, Ask a Librarian’ and ‘I read dead people’.
I also did a Dr.Who badge – partly since David Tennant is a local boy but mostly because Dr. Who has twice featured a library and the Doctor clearly feels they are important!
Now all I have to do is wait and see if my first year are impressed!
