School and Public Library Collaboration, part 1 (An Introduction) with Naomi Bates
Naomi Bates is an (awesome!) public school librarian – High School – here in Texas. She also runs a blog called YA Books and More. I love this blog. In fact, when I first moved to Texas I emailed her and asked her if she wanted to meet for lunch. It didn’t happen then, but we did eventually meet. This year we are working on a joint project to discuss ways in which public and school librarians can work together to serve teens in their communities. We will be posting a separate question each month, vlogging our response to the question, and asking you to weigh in as well.
For our first Vlog, we thought we would introduce the project and share what our goals are for the project.
Here’s Naomi . . .

Great plan! I am a school librarian who has worked with the public librarians on one program a month for several years, but I know we could do even more. Looking forward to getting some motivation and new ideas.
