Workshop on Library Management

The State Working Group for School Libraries in Hesse (LAG) visited the Steinmühle school library on Monday, November 6, with its LAG Café and workshop. From 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., interested teachers with library responsibilities and other school library staff from various schools in Hesse had the opportunity to exchange ideas over coffee, cake, and snacks. The Steinmühle employs its own librarian, Katrin Reichel, to handle all aspects of library operations; she herself is a member of the LAG School Libraries advisory board. She welcomed a total of 12 attendees, who asked questions of the presenters—Matthias Matzen, a teacher at the Gesamtschule Gießen Ost, a member of the LAG Executive Board and an employee of the IT Service Center for School Libraries in Hesse, and received various tips and tricks. Without exception, the guests were enthusiastic about this accessible event and the opportunity to network, and they hope the event will be repeated soon.
