About Elementary Librarian

Welcome (3)

Welcome to ElementaryLibrarian.com! This site was created by a certified K-12 librarian in 2012, and it has now grown into a community of thousands of elementary librarians sharing lesson plans, resources, and ideas! 

ElementaryLibrarian.com exists because school libraries are still a relevant and critical component of student learning in the 21st Century. This website is devoted to supporting elementary librarians across the U.S. and even around the world.

The Elementary Librarian Community is available to all site visitors. Membership includes over 500 library lesson plans, which incorporate the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and American Association of School Librarians (AASL) standards. Members also receive a private community, members only resource library, and much more!

Worth more than I paid!

"I am so glad I found the Elementary Librarian lesson plans! The fact that these plans were easy to use and were aligned to both the AASL and Common Core ELA standards made them worth far more that what I paid for them!" - Mikki

All the work is done for me!

" This will be my 7th year and until your plans I have been spinning my wheels trying to come up with solid plans each week. I had planned on spending all summer trying to figure out my “years” plans, but you have done all the work for me." - Sarah C.

My students are engaged!

"I was thrilled to discover your treasure trove of resources. After two years of doing it “my way”–I decided to utilize the center approach and do it “your” way. The students are engaged and I see them using the knowledge." - Kathryn B.

My principal was impressed!

"Your lesson plans with the Common Core and AASL 21st Century Standards were a life saver! My principal looked through my plan binder and was completely floored that EVERY lesson had both sets of standards." - Tina P.
