Today's Member of the Week is Brenda Rogers. Brenda works at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial in Lake Crystal, Minnesota. She has been a school librarian for four years.

We asked Brenda some questions about her experience as a school librarian and we would like to share them with you.

What's your favorite thing about your job as a school librarian?

I get to see and impact the learning of every student grades K-6 in my building every week.

Name one children's book that you couldn't live without in your library.

I Wish You More

Tell us why you decided to join the Elementary Librarian Community. What's your favorite thing about it?

I enjoy learning from other Librarians. Libraries have taken such a dramatic turn in the last few years and I want to keep up with all the new things that others are experiencing and creating.

What's the biggest challenge you're currently facing when it comes to your school library?

Trying to fit all the new, innovative, and fun things into the library curriculum.

If you could give one piece of advice to a brand new school librarian (or someone considering becoming a school librarian), what would it be?

Make sure you have your seat belt on, it's going to be a bumpy , thrilling, up and down ride .

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!"

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."

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 the lessons give them."

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."
