The Flexibility of School Libraries Amidst a Pandemic

I completed my School Library Practicum at Steiner Ranch Elementary School and Four Points Middle School in the Leander Independent School District. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the experience of the school libraries was modified in many ways. I adapted my lessons to adhere to social distancing guidelines, and I observed the modification of library procedures to protect the health of students and faculty. Each school library implemented curbside checkout services to provide equitable access to books for all students. My focus this semester was promoting the libraries through social media and expanding the collection to encourage students to continue reading.
