Library Girl<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Adventures of Library Girl is an excellent blog to follow to help school librarians stay current and trendy. Library Girl includes multiple posts that provide tips to ensure that your library is space that students can’t wait to visit. Some of my personal favorite posts are “BFPT: Keeping Your Library Smelling: FRESH” which has nothing to do with how your library smells and “Six Tips for Building Book Displays that Matter.” Be sure to check her out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
