Where Do I Start?
Think of creating your new library just like you would plan a trip. You will need to consider all of the factors involved in completing a successful journey from start to finish–from the idea of a new library to the Opening Day celebration.
As you move down the road toward your destination, you must answer key questions:
- What are your school's needs?
- How will you make sure your new library is complete?
- Who needs to be involved in planning your journey?
Identify anyone who needs to be involved in the planning of your new library– other librarians, district staff, administrators, teachers–and include them in the planning.
Need help from the start? Invite your Perma-Bound representative to participate in your discussions.
Your Perma-Bound representative has helped other schools work through the same issues you face today, and can help smooth the path for you as well. In fact your representative can act as a project manager, guiding your new library project through to a successful completion with minimal frustration and difficulty.
