What's Been Happening in the Library?

If you've never used Animoto as a promotional tool for your library program, you are missing out.  I now have my cellphone pretty much permanently glued to my side when I am doing activities with kids so that I can photograph and video and gather examples of what we're doing, because as I learned last night, people don't know.  When I get the chance to start talking about what we're doing in the library, the teachers whose students I see weekly go "wait, wow, you do that in the library?" And then their minds are blown (in a good way).  

I'd made a video for the first six weeks in library, but it was very touchy-feel-good and not very impressive on the 21st century skills front.  So, this time around, I stepped up my game.  And then I sent it to the entire elementary school faculty, my principal, and my superintendent.  And boy, does it feel good to redefine perspectives and shift understandings of what happens in the library :)
