Darryl and I continue our monthly chat about FOSIL, education and school libraries. This month we are continuing where we left off last month and are going to delve deeper into Darryl’s chapter for the IFLA digital literacy book.

The highlights of this podcast focus on:

• The importance of school librarians gaining clarity about what they do and why.
• The importance of school librarians understanding what education is and their role in it. 

"Our goal is not to get our children to the end of school but to equip them for what happens beyond school"
