tight, but remember that you have allies trying to achieve many of the same
goals you are.<span style=""> </span>Who?<span style=""> </span>School library media specialists or school library assistants.<span style=""> </span>We added a new book to the
Library and Information Science collection at the State Library which is all
about building partnerships between school and public libraries.<span style=""> </span>Tasha Squires, the author and a YA librarian,
has extensive experience collaborating with school library media specialists,
and in <span style="font-style: italic;">Library Partnerships</span>, she offers much practical advice to help others seeking to do
the same.<span style=""> </span>She covers the obvious, like checking
the other person’s schedule before offering to launch a collaborative project, and
the not so obvious, like thinking to ask if your partner prefers a steady
routine or likes variety when returning to a familiar project.<span style=""> </span>Examples of collaboration range from coordinating
author visits between school and public libraries to having school educators share
classroom management skills at the request of YA librarians who were overrun
with kids visiting their public library after school.<span style=""> </span>As an aside, upcoming OLA and OASL
publications will focus on school and public library collaboration.<br><br>Squires, Tasha. <i>Library Partnerships:
Making Connections between School and Public Libraries</i>. Medford, NJ:
