This is the most comprehensive textbook on school library administration available, now updated to include the latest standards and address new technologies. This reference text provides a complete instructional overview of the workings of the library media center—from the basics of administration, budgeting, facilities management, organization, selection of materials, and staffing to explanations on how to promote information literacy and the value of digital tools like blogs, wikis, and podcasting. Since the publication of the fourth edition of Administering the School Library Media Center in 2004, many changes have altered the landscape of school library administration: the implementation of NCLB legislation and the revision of AASL standards, just to mention two. The book is divided into 14 chapters, each devoted to a major topic in school library media management. This latest edition gives media specialists a roadmap for designing a school library that is functional and intellectually stimulating, while leading sources provide guidance for further research.

Without experience in the restaurant business, Anna and her husband, Bill, purchase the Ponderosa, a foreclosed gutted-out restaurant, bar, and motel on the bank of the Main Payette River in Idaho. With wit, wisdom, and as many turns as the unforgiving Highway 55, which snakes through the tortured scenic Payette River gorge, Anna tells stories of family, customers, and building her business. The car crashes, river rescues, broken bones, and wildfires (only steps away) trigger Anna to relive several of her childhood adversities (alcoholism, the sudden death of her young sibling, and child molestation, to name a few). Despite the sixteen-hour workdays and seemingly unending tribulations, Anna and Bill tackle the obstacles in their path with an open heart and robust determination to achieve success. Unfortunately, Life Flight rescues aren’t as easy to shrug off, and Anna must often repeat her words aloud: “There are no crybabies on this assignment—put on a pleasing smile and a clean apron and charge onward.” Anna’s story has an unexpected heart-wrenching conclusion.

Communities in the United States are chapters in the great story of this country. And while many of these chapters are well known in our history, there are a great many that need their stories to be told by the people who lived there. In The History of Elsmere: African American Life in Glassboro, New Jersey, author Robert P. Tucker describes middle-class life in a small, semirural South Jersey minority neighborhood, offering a history that spans over three centuries. From the clearing of land for farming to the building of segregated schools and housing developments just twenty miles southeast of Philadelphia, Tucker chronicles the history of the neighborhood as only a lifelong resident could. He also speaks to the harrowing experiences of escaping the Ku Klux Klan and living through the poverty of the Depression, sharing the story of minority life in the community. The history of this small community is an important part of the story of America, and the experiences of the men, women, and children who lived in Elsmere can come together to reflect the spirit of a time and a place. Much of Elsmere has changed, but the memories now live on and can teach us about where we came from—and where we are going.

About the Book Pockets Full of Poseys is a memoir about author A.J. Finn’s abusive and severely dysfunctional childhood. Full of a cast of unsavory characters, unexpected champions, and a brave little girl, it’s a tale of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. Instead of wallowing in sadness, A.J. presents the facts with dark humor and sarcasm, while still acknowledging the horror. Unfortunately domestic violence and child abuse are much more common than we'd like to believe. Many people out there can relate to her story, and she hopes it will let others out there who came from similar situations or are in one now know that they are not alone. There is hope beyond pain. We can go on to live a good life without our trauma defining us and become who we want to be. About the Author A.J. Finn resides in Denver, CO, with her husband, two children, Jack Russell, and two cats. She is a licensed cosmetologist and business owner. She is also a self-proclaimed comedian and WW2 historian. She loves Harry Potter trivia, dad jokes, and dirty martinis. A.J. is a left handed Leo millennial with thick thighs and thin patience. She has globophobia and a great love of writing inappropriate haikus and short stories. She enjoys listening to 60s music and true crime podcasts.
