Late last night I completed by plan and presentation for my library upgrades. Rather than reflect right away, I took some time to think about what I accomplished. Had I reflected immediately I would have just written about how relieved I was to be done! However, in hindsight I am very proud of what I completed.
As a non-TL I struggled at first with what changes our library required. However, after talking to our TL and spending some time in the library I realized what needed to be done. Technology was excellent as was the overall space. What really needed changing was the configuration and layout of furniture and shelving. The library really lacked a comfortable feel and did not have enough space to house/display all of the resources. By focusing on these changes I think I was able to create a much better space which could help the library better achieve their goals.
I am very proud of what I was able to accomplish. I believe that I could give this plan to our current TL and she could use both the report and PPT presentation as they are to go to both administrators, parents and district heads to get approval for the proposed changes. The document is extremely detailed and attempts to relate the changes to specific library goals. The presentation covers all of the main aspects of the report yet is general enough that it can be used to present to a number of differing groups (admin, district heads, parents, etc.).
After some hard work and a night to sleep and reflect, I am very proud of the changes I proposed and the report/presentation I created to express the need for them. I hope that it is actually something our current TL could use to make improvements to the Elgin Park Library!
