I went back and forth in the route I wanted to take. Back in February, I applied to graduate school (San Jose State University) to get my masters in library science. Then I wanted to get me MN media specialist license. Given the current situation that is going on the in state, some districts eliminating school librarians, others hiring only part-time, and others spreading the school librarian thin over more than one building. I'm very much passionate about creating, collaborating, and teaching others that school libraries are more than just books. The way I see it, the school library is the brain of any school. Research has proven the correlation between an active school library and students' test scores. There's just people, maybe some teachers, administration and school board members that do not understand or get the BIG picture of it all. So, I gotta increase my chances of getting a job, and 2 licenses is better than 1.
Anyways, I've got some books that I'm finishing up reading and will write a few reviews for. I might even through in a few reviews of some Contemporary Latin American literature that I read for class last semester.
Until then... keep reading!!
Hope your courses are going well.
