=Welcome to the Budding Teacher Librarian's Wiki= This is a space for new librarians to share their successes, challenges, questions and newly acquired expertise on just about everything that is library. My hope is that through the use of this wiki those of us newbies can help each other along with questions, discussions and help celebrate successes together. What is the definition of a "new" librarian? A person just about to enter the field, a person who has jumped in feeling there is no net underneath them and those of you already in the trenches for under 5 years. We all need a space for expressing what we are going through and this can be our outlet. I invite you to make it your own by adding pages as necessary and posting discussions that will stimulate and awaken possibilites. I ask that you be supportive in your responses and allow yourself and others to ask the "stupid" questions we all have, but are afraid to ask. I emplore you to not assume that anyone on this wiki understands "librarianspeak" and to please whenever possible/necessary spell out those crazy acronyms we all have a tendency to use.

I am excited, scared and in awe of what the future holds for me as a new Teacher Librarian (TL) and I hope you join me in making a place where colleagues can come and meet and help each other along the way. - Teena
