Hi Everyone,
Here are two simple things that have worked very well for us:
1. Put out a bunch of puzzles (Rubik's cube, wooden puzzles, cast iron
puzzles) on your desk or counter near you. Our kids flock to them and it's
such an easy way to interact with them.
2. Put out interesting non-circulating little books at your desk or
counter.
I'll attach pics of what we have. Be aware that some of the stuff will
break or go missing. One added advantage of the puzzles is that students
who aren't feeling social will always have a solo activity to do in the
library (besides reading) that's inconspicuous. Also, the puzzles can be
social conduits. People do the puzzles together and the puzzles are also
near the computers where other students play video games so they're near
the action.
I will allow students to take the puzzles to other parts of the library but
like to keep them close by, and that's where most of the puzzle solving
happens.
If you want to go next level with the puzzle nerdiness, I created a Puzzle
Master Certificate for interested students who can solve really difficult
puzzles or a bunch of them. I'll attach the certificate. In five years
I've given out 17 of those so far.
Best,
Jeff

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.

Subject: [baisl] Re: Building rapport with students
Hi all,
Cara and I were just talking about this at our library, because building
rapport with students is something we believe we do well at our school. Our
library is a happy place. Here are a few specifics:
Hours: The library is open from 7:30am to 5pm. Students are in the library
every moment during that time. They know it's a place to study, to relax,
and to collaborate on projects.
Desk Interactions: Every exchange at the library desk is an opportunity to
get to know our students. We check out books, tech equipment, arts
supplies, and freely offer almost every school supply a student may need.
Whenever a student approaches the desk, my catch phrase is "How's your day
going?" And, students usually want to tell me.
Floor Interactions: While most of our work is behind the desk, we do make
efforts to regularly walk through the library. We smile at kids whose eyes
meet ours, and if they look like they're open to a conversation, we ask
them how they're doing. When we don't know students' names, we ask.
Students want to be known--they certainly aren't offended by us wanting to
know them.
Non-Library Experiences: Each of us proctors one or more non-library
related clubs. We also participate in all parts of our school community,
going on retreats with students, attending performances or sports events. I
teach a class. Cara drives the van for the Friday morning Martin de Porres
service opportunities. Since we believe in helping students become
well-rounded individuals, we work to do that as well.
Openness to Play: It's hard to define this, because I think it is something
that comes naturally to both me and Cara. Even our disciplinary actions can
be fun or funny; we laugh with the students. We allow for humor and play
with words and ideas. Next week, the school will put on it's annual sketch
comedy show, SILive, and we were active participants in a video piece for
it, a parody of A Quiet Place set in the library. Learning should be fun
(and often, very funny).
Cara has some great input on Personalized Reading Lists as a way to build
rapport. I'll let her jump in with that.
Happy Friday!
Christina

Whenever possible, I chaperone field trips, sub for teachers, and just
generally look for opportunities to interact outside the library. Just be
yourself. Let them know you’re a human being. Talk to them about the
stuff they’re interested in. Ask questions. Don’t show fear or
insincerity. Kids can spot those from a mile away.

I have the advantage of teaching ALL freshmen in an information skills
class for 10 weeks so I get to know them early and then try and maintain
those relationships! Unfortunately, remembering names is not my strength
so it is a struggle! I also have 10th and 11th grade projects that require
individual meetings with me so I reconnect again then.

Subject: [baisl] Re: Building rapport with students
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

Subject: [baisl] Re: Building rapport with students
These are such great ideas! I'm always working on this as well.
I try to have a vibe similar to Christina's. I recently moved my desk to
the middle of the library to be more approachable. I used to feel bad if I
didn't remember a student's name, but then I realized that they really
rarely expect me to, so I feel more comfortable saying, "remind me your
name" when they come up for help (and I also use the yearbook to help
jostle my memory).
I go to lunchtime panels that the students put on so they know I am
interested in what they care about (for instance, this week there was a
student-led panel on what it is like to be a religious student at Urban and
I brought books on religions). I also appreciate what Michele said and try
to ask questions, be myself, and listen to the students. Even making eye
contact saying hi in the hallways goes a long way!

Subject: [baisl] Re: Building rapport with students
Cristina has great ideas. We also have a roster book with pictures which
helps, especially in a large school like ours, to put names to faces of the
regulars. Last year we started letting students be noisier in the main
part of the library and making what had been a "collaboration room" a quiet
study area. We had to fight the administration for this, but many students
have told us it was "wonderful, the best thing we've done," etc. The quiet
room - which we do enforce, though we only occasionally need to as those
students really do want to be quiet - is only full occasionally. The
students in the main area are often working even if also talking. We do
have one out-of-the-way area with study carrels we keep quiet, and noise
cancelling headphones students can check out. This change has led to
students feeling much more comfortable in the library and gives us a chance
to build rapport instead of just shushing them.

Love this thread--so many great ideas to connect with our students! As
Christina mentioned, our personalized reading list program has been a
fantastic way to build relationships with students. Basically, Christina or
I interview a student using a prepared set of questions about books they've
loved, hated, or thought were meh. We ask about her or his hobbies,
interests, etc. Then, we collaboratively come up with a list of seven book
recommendations along with reviews and bullet points on why we chose the
book. All in all, the interview takes about 45 minutes, but I've found
that the connection that is created during that time lasts throughout the
year, and beyond.

We also do various fun things which range from giving out candy from our

semester as a break before finals. We also have raffle giveaways that can
be as simple as having students write down what book they are thankful for
at Thanksgiving and doing a drawing using the entries to holding a creative
poetry contest during Poetry Month. Last year, I did paint chip poetry
which the students really enjoyed. Promote it all in morning announcements,

from the advisory.
What should we do to get the political system that we want? How should we
begin to work together to solve our most urgent problems?
This issue advisory presents three options for deliberation, along with
their drawbacks. Each option offers advantages as well as risks. If we
regulate what people can say online, will we end up silencing voices we
need
to hear? Should we push politicians to compromise more often even if it
means they must bend on their principles? Should we focus more power
locally, or would that result in an unmanageable patchwork of conflicting
rules governing many important areas of our lives?
Option One: Reduce dangerous, toxic talk.
The problem is that the way we talk is poisoning public life. The "outrage
industry" rewards people for saying and doing the most extreme things.
Public figures vie for attention on TV and online. Fringe groups feel
empowered to spread their hate and conspiracy theories. The lines between
news, opinion, and entertainment are erased. We don't know whom to believe
anymore. And if people say the "wrong thing," they are attacked because
they
are not "politically correct." We need to stop rewarding outrage and bring
back common sense.
Option Two: Make fairer rules for politics and follow them.
The problem is that wealthy, powerful special interests game the political
system, making it impossible to find compromise. The flood of money into
campaigns and lobbying gives too much power to special interests. Political
parties redraw congressional districts to their advantage, which means more
partisanship in Washington. Elected officials leave Congress and join
multimillion dollar lobbying firms, giving their clients access and power
not available to ordinary people. It's time to correct the flaws in our
system that reward such extreme partisanship and to restore the tradition
of
compromise that has served this nation well.
Option Three: Take control and make decisions closer to home.
The problem is that our most important decisions are being made too far
away
from home. And when national government is embroiled in political
infighting, problems go unsolved. It's time to put decision-making back in
the hands of people who live and work closely together, share goals and
values, and can act quickly. Communities across the nation, frustrated by
inaction in Washington, already are moving to address problems they're
familiar with at the ground level.
<snip>National Issues Forums issue guides are designed to stimulate public
deliberation, which is a way of making decisions together that is different
from discussion or debate. The purpose of deliberative forums is to inform
collective action. As citizens, we have to make decisions together before
we can act together, whether with other citizens or through legislative
bodies. Acting together is essential for addressing problems that can't be
solved by one group of people or one institution. These problems have more
than one cause and therefore have to be met by a number of mutually
reinforcing initiatives with broad public participation. Click

Subject: [baisl] Re: Building rapport with students
We are a 6-12th grade library at a small school (~140 high school; ~150
middle school) so we know all of our kids and we collaborate with teachers
at every level so we see all the kids for research. We do all sorts of
things to build rapport with the kids and community within the school. I
send the kids a survey every year to figure out where their preferences are
for reading, events, research, and library atmosphere. For years they
overwhelmingly wanted the main library livelier and the small room quiet.
This year that has drastically changed in a few free periods so we have
accommodated that. We respond to their preferences for events so that a few
years ago we were hosting lunchtime TED Talks, but this year they really
like some chill out time so we usually have puzzles going and I'll go and
put a couple pieces in and chat with them. We also have coloring days. In
winter we pick the coldest day of the week to have tea during elective
period. Today since it's Friday I'm trying something new by projecting a
fireplace on the big screen and making hot tea available.
I love the idea of "openness to play"! Whenever materials come wrapped in
bubble wrap, I take some out to the kids to pop with me. We also have
bubbles available especially near exam days. We put up memes and quotes
that they can relate to on our door each week. Often when I talk with a kid
about what they might like to read, I wind up with so many possibilities
for them that I write them a prescription on an RX sheet that our Library
Assistant, Melissa created for me.
Food always helps. Whenever we have leftover food from an event, I take a
tray around to share with anyone in the free period that follows the event.
As raffle prizes for reading, the kids can win an ice cream social for them
and a few friends. We make brownies and hot apple cider for every book club
meeting (the brownies are so famous that they call them Library Brownies).
We are not the Incredible Shushing Librarians. We may ask people to be
quiet, but we never shush.
I always pass along compliments and if I see an opportunity to genuinely
compliment, I do.
I'm also the literary magazine adviser and an academic adviser. I also
teach many of them when they come in for assignments and each of the kids
meets with me for their Sophomore Projects.
Some of these things I think can be adapted to younger grades, but I think
at any age, asking the kids what they want and really listening and
responding helps. Always keeping it authentic and not contrived also helps
immensely.
