I made this podcast to talk about how experiences I’ve had in life that may seem to be unrelated to librarianship will actually translate well into a job in a school library media center. For this talk, I focused on my years of work in retail, and about five things I learned there that I think would be useful for anybody in a school library to know:
Thing 1 - Be friendly and inviting.
Thing 2 - Be proactive - make a sale!
Thing 3 - It’s not a bad thing to admit you don’t have a ready answer.
Thing 4 - Put things on display.
Thing 5 - Make them want to come back.
