Book Description
Welcome to Havenbrook, a town steeped in charm and mystery, where the cobblestone streets hold tales of generations past. Nestled within this idyllic setting are two souls destined to unravel not only the enigmas of history but also the profound bonds of love and destiny. Dorothy has spent a lifetime tending to the precious Oakwood Library, a sanctuary of ancient wisdom and stories etched into time's embrace. Her heart beats in harmony with the whispers of the past, and her devotion to preserving the town's legacy is unwavering. Across town stands the Beechwood Library, a modern marvel of innovation, and within its walls resides Keanu, a spirited young librarian brimming with a passion for bridging the gap between tradition and progress. Fate, it seems, has orchestrated an extraordinary rendezvous for these two kindred spirits. A twist of serendipity thrusts Dorothy and Keanu together, embarking them on an unforeseen journey of collaboration. Their mission: to decipher a cryptic historical puzzle buried deep within the archives, one that promises to unearth a secret hidden for centuries. As they dive into forgotten manuscripts and trace the footsteps of those who came before, Dorothy and Keanu find themselves spellbound by a narrative that transcends time's boundaries. Their shared pursuit unveils not only the secrets of history but also the threads that connect their own families. With each revelation, their connection deepens, weaving an intricate tapestry of emotions that neither could have foreseen. In the hushed recesses of libraries, where wisdom is bound in leather and ink, these two librarians embark on a journey that will change the course of their lives. "The Star-Crossed Librarians" invites you to immerse yourself in a tale of love that defies time's constraints, of mysteries that transcend eras, and of the profound magic that dwells within the pages of a book. Join us as we traverse the corridors of time and the intricacies of the heart, guided by the quiet enchantment of libraries. Through twists of fate and turns of destiny, Dorothy and Keanu's story will capture your imagination and remind you that, even in the digital age, the past is a treasure trove worth cherishing and that love is a force that transcends both history and time.

Book Description
Twelve-year-old Mattie wrestles with her crush on Gemma as they participate in their school production of Romeo and Juliet in what School Library Journal calls “a fine choice for middle school libraries in need of accessible LGBTQ stories.” Twelve-year-old Mattie is thrilled when she learns the eighth grade play will be Romeo and Juliet. In particular, she can’t wait to share the stage with Gemma Braithwaite, who has been cast as Juliet. Gemma is brilliant, pretty—and British!—and Mattie starts to see her as more than just a friend. But Mattie has also had an on/off crush on her classmate Elijah since, well, forever. Is it possible to have a crush on both boys AND girls? If that wasn’t enough to deal with, things offstage are beginning to resemble their own Shakespearean drama: the cast is fighting, and the boy playing Romeo may not be up to the challenge of the role. And due to a last-minute emergency, Mattie is asked to step up and take over the leading role—opposite Gemma’s Juliet—just as Mattie’s secret crush starts to become not-so-secret in her group of friends. In this funny, sweet, and clever look at the complicated nature of middle school romance, Mattie learns how to become a lead player in her own life.

The School Librarian's Compass

Pages : 558
Book Description
By working through these cases and the accompanying learning exercises, both pre-service and practicing school librarians will strengthen their readiness, expand their perspectives, and build confidence for solving problems and making informed, thoughtful decisions in their school libraries. In their preparation for school librarianship, library students learn foundational ideals and observe best practices that center and guide their work. However, discussions of aspirational versions of school librarianship often leave out sufficient practice in managing the many challenges and decisions school librarians face on the job. In this book, veteran educator Rebecca J. Morris uses stories of day-to-day librarianship to empower school librarians as they navigate and manage the complex interactions, decisions, and opportunities of their work. The book's alignment with the AASL/CAEP standards makes it helpful to school library educators planning curriculum, syllabi, and course activities. Perfect for reading or study groups, graduate classes, and professional development, these stories invite reflection and lively conversation.

LGBTQIA+ Inclusive Children's Librarianship
Author: Lucy Santos Green
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1440876789
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
This book breaks new ground, offering school and public librarians serving children in grades K–8 a roadmap for implementing and upholding queer-inclusive programs, policies, and services. School and public librarians are serving ever greater numbers of LGBTQIA+ children and families. Transgender children may begin to express a strong sense of gender identity as early as 2–3 years of age. Children are also identifying as gay much sooner than earlier generations-often between the ages of 7 and 12. Additionally, more children than ever before are living with LGBTQIA+ caregivers. In seeking to make our programs and services inclusive and equitable for these growing populations, librarians may court controversy and face community backlash from patrons who feel queer-inclusive content is inappropriate for young children. This book codifies a set of best practices for librarians as they rise to this challenge, defining queer-inclusive programs, identifying potential barriers to implementation, and offering strategies and resources to overcome them.

Polymer Libraries
Author: Michael A. R. Meier
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 364200170X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This is truly an exciting time to be in the ?eld of polymer science. Advances in polymerization methods are providing polymer scientists with the ability to specify and control polymer composition, structure, architecture, and molecular weight to a degree that was not possible just a decade ago. This, in turn, is resulting in many novel application possibilities of polymers ranging from drug delivery systems and nanolithographyto stimuli-responsivematerials and many others. In addition,many of the application areas of polymers – such as coatings, adhesives, thermoplastics, composites, and personal care – are also taking advantage of the ability to design polymersduringtheir developmentefforts. Not to forget,manyof these applications of polymers involve mixing polymers with solvents, catalysts, colorants, and many other ingredients to prepare a formulated product. However, the tuning of polymer composition and structure as well as polymer formulations to optimize the ?nal performance properties can be challenging, - pecially since in many cases several interacting variables need to be optimized simultaneously. This is where the methodologies and techniques of combinatorial and high-throughput experimentation to synthesize and characterize polymer - braries can be an invaluable approach. Simply put, a polymer library is a collection of multiple polymer samples having a systematic variation in one or more variables related to composition, structure, or process. Various methods and strategies have been explored to ef?ciently prepare a large number of polymer samples and also to screen these samples for key properties of interest.
