My first year working as a Library Media Specialist was a great learning experience. I had a great deal of things to learn but the staff I worked with really helped me out. Students were excited and willing to learn about new books and how to navigate a library. One student was a little more reluctant than others and at first I thought it was because he had trouble reading. I discovered this was not the case when they became very interested in reading historical fiction graphic novels. The student was a behavior problem in other classes, but by using new books as a reward for good behavior, he finished the year strong and left with a summer reading goal and the knowledge to find the books at the local library.
