Flipping the Script on School Library Orientation

School library orientation usually means two things: rules and catalog tutorials. For my students, this model was ineffective, so I reworked my orientation to emphasize how students intuitively use the library to give them the skills they need to be successful and independent. I flipped the script to emphasize efficient browsing and being a reflective reader rather than policies and procedures. I'll share how I start my year and build library visits to foster independent library users.
