{"product_id":"simply-indispensable","title":"Simply Indispensable","description":"A structured approach to advocacy for K-12 school librarians focuses their energy on an active path that showcases library programs and resources and expresses the essential role librarians serve in school and student success.\nKeeping a library program vital requires regular reflection about current practices and a willingness to implement changes that will position the library and library staff should they be threatened with elimination. \u003ci\u003eSimply Indispensable: An Action Guide for School Librarians\u003c\/i\u003e helps librarians do just that. The book begins with an explanation of the need to act and then offers a systematic approach to taking action. Each chapter is devoted to an active path: attracting patrons; interacting with teachers, parents, administrators, and the community; communicating; reacting to \"situations;\" working for reinstatement if the worst happens, and more.\n\nThe book covers advocacy—from the subtle exercise of developing excellent programs to the overt outreach of Legi-Days. Additionally, there is specific information about what to do when the RIF notice or pink slip arrives or if cuts are made, including how to properly close a library. After putting these actions into effect, school librarians will have a cadre of supporters ready to speak for them should the need arise.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252121850200,"sku":"9781591587996","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781591587996_3e6dbae6-56bd-468c-ba91-a22a03202e03.jpg?v=1743762607","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/simply-indispensable","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
