I teach at Hibbard School in the diverse Albany Park Community. Our poverty level is 88%; most of our students are English Learners. After over 25 years as a classroom teacher, I am becoming a certified school librarian. Our library will reopen in August after being shuttered for 7 years; it is in a sad state. The room has become a catch-all for donations and storage; books have been pilfered, or borrowed and returned haphazardly. Many changes over these 7 years require attention: updating the collection to reflect our school and greater community, curating resources to support new curriculum in core subject areas, updating our library technology, and creating a makerspace. Students of color and living in poverty statistically have less access to a school library. This compounds the barriers they face to achieve a better future in an information-heavy society. It is my goal to help them overcome those barriers.
