Carl A. Harvey II - Library Media Specialist

Carl A. Harvey II
Library Media Specialist

My Mom said it was no surprise when I became a librarian. When I was about 18 months old I would run over to the living room bookshelves and pull every book off the shelf. Of course, I wasn't very good at putting them back. If you ask my assistants, I'm not much better at that today.

I don't know if that really was a sign of my occupation, but I do know that I love my job as a library media specialist! In 10 years there hasn't been one day that has ever been the same. Each day brings with it new possibilities and opportunities and I can hardly wait to see what the next day will hold.

This website gives me a place to share my writing, speaking handouts, and other professional resources. Hopefully some of what I have to share will be of help to other library media professionals! Thanks for visiting!

"It is an outstanding addition because of the wealth of tables, graphics, case studies, and professional and Web resources, all of which are well integrated into the text."
--- School Library Journal, March 2009.
"This slim volume packs a tremendous amount of useful, practical information into well-organized chapters and manageable subsections. ... Of major interest to novice and seasoned practitioners, this guide is timely and relevant. Highly Recommended"
--- Library Media Connection, October 2008.
"With advice on collaborating with faculty, students, and parents, it's an ideal read for any school librarian."
--- Midwest Book Review, September 2009
