at the school where we teach. by the end of the summer we all know each other and have developed a bond over books, reading, and learning. when our students come back to school, especially if they are just starting school, they already know a teacher or librarian in the building. there is a comfort in that. as librarians, we often see many of the students we saw over the summer come back to school and start spending more time in the library. their time with us and with books was a positive experience over the summer and they know that the library is where they can find us both.
