I agree with Brian. I have a yearbook hidden under my desk, and I make sure
that I refer to each student by name whether it be in the library or the
hallway. Since I only teach 9th graders for the first quarter, I make sure
that when a student has been assigned a research paper, the teacher
requires them to stop by for a one on one tutorial so we can talk about
their topic and our databases as well as the tricks of searching google and
google scholar. Our teachers always require a print book, so if we don't
have one, we start looking together on Amazon for one. Having this time
really changes the library dynamics for the better.
Thanks,
Carla

One thing that helps me is that our dean of students gets me a “visual
roster” that has all of the students and their names. Basically it’s the
same picture for their student IDs and yearbook photo. It’s a big help
especially if a student I don’t know is acting out in the library.

I agree that this is a great question, but my problem is that I don't have
classes coming in on a regular basis. I do, however, have "regulars" who
come to the library everyday but they all wear uniforms and no name tags ☺so
unless someone checks out a book, it is pretty hard to discover her name.
I recognize faces but I struggle to put names with faces and that makes
building rapport a bit harder.

Wow, is this a great question! I work with high school students and I’ve
found I have the most success building rapport before school, during break
or between classes, at lunch, etc. contexts in which neither the students
nor I have specific tasks we are working on. I think learning every
students name is important – I still haven’t been successful at it, but it
is the quickest most specific thing I think we can do to gain rapport with
students.

Hi everyone,
Can anyone share if you do any activities or anything on a regular basis
to build rapport with students who come to the library for weekly classes?
I'm open to ideas from a librarian perspective.
Thanks,
