The most interesting part of this position is the opportunity to make visits to school libraries and to meet so many great school library media specialists. No two libraries and no two librarians are alike!
Here is one of our system’s newest members. Kristen Majkut started her position with the Schenectady City Schools in September of 2006. I caught this photo of her when I visited her in the Zoller library on January 18, 2007. How do we know that Kristen is a frequent technology user? See that flash drive hanging from her lanyard. She’s never far from her important files!
Kristen splits her time between Zoller Elementary School and the Steinmetz Career Center – so it’s a bit of a schizophrenic job. But she has lots of energy and enjoys working with students at both levels – elementary school and high school.
One interesting thing about the library at Zoller – there is a real fireplace in this library. Of course it hasn’t been used for years but it makes for a cozy atmosphere on a cold January day!
The Capital Region BOCES SLS welcomes Kristen and I look forward to seeing her at meetings and staff development sessions. You will all enjoy getting to know her!
