A word from Christine Cervera:
Christine' Acceptance Poem:
"This greatest profession
The sweet spot to be
A library’s the place
That I love to be.
Sure there are challenges,
Technical glitches,
Budget cuts, lay-offs,
More advocacy pitches.
Piles of Chromebooks,
And tangled up cords.
A whole book contested
For one single word.
But the good stuff is shiny
Like Hour of Code!
New books arriving!
Award medals in gold!
Bright children’s faces,
Innovative places,
Messy Makerspaces,
The right databases.
Running with themes,
Transforming the look,
Planning events,
Battle of the Books!
Kids writing novels
Is certainly cool.
Dress up like a character
For One Book, One School.
3-D printers and lasers
Programming the best.
Always one more idea-
Harry Potter Fest!
Be your own guiding star
Write up a grant
Be ever inspired
Don’t say “I can’t”
Lisa and Piper, Tiah and Team,
Principals and Admin
Whose wisdom I gleam,
We share the same goal
It starts with a child
Now nurture her soul
So she’ll blossom and smile.
Empathize through a story
