Sophie and the library....
Hanging out with students is probably one of the biggest reasons why we become school librarians.

BACKSTORY:
I knew Sophie when she was a 7th grader at the Junior High School where I worked at the time. She was a true 'library girl' who read voraciously all the way through her two years with us. Moving to high school, she hung out at the library and even volunteered there during summer breaks. Her story reminds us that the best of what school libraries have to offer includes not just the 'stuff' that's there, but the librarian, library staff and the welcoming environment that they create.
