I've served numerous communities as school librarian for Chicago Public Schools for a number of years. During this time I have heard stories that would make you cry, have had conversations that will raise an eyebrow and have heard stories that will just crack you up. My students at my current school often times come in the Library Media Center and address me as 'Ma'. (RANT - I blame my principal who started calling me 'Mama Boyd' in front of the children...LOL!) I used to really trip out of this 'term of endearment', but now I take this in stride. In all of the years I have taught, I've learned one major thing about teens: the will not share personal information with you if they do not like you. #RealTalk
Conversations At The Circulation Desk is a new video series that I have created that celebrates the teen mind. Videos shared through this series feature some of my students and the funny and prolific things that they say. All students who appear in this video series have approved the use of their image and have had their parent sign a media release form for the school. I'm a little late posting this video. I actually started taping this series in June and got sidetracked with other projects. In this first episode, Junior student Rebeca talks about why teens enjoy reading Street Literature. I hope you will enjoy what she says.
