Self-Promotion is a Good Thing
There is nothing wrong with self-promotion. In fact, as a school librarian, it is necessary to let your administrators know what you do, because the majority of them do not know what we do. Here are some infographics, signs and videos for your reports, webpage or blog.
INFOGRAPHICS / SIGNS

School Librarians are the Heart of the School
I saw this on Joyce Valenza's blog, The Neverending Search. Make sure your administration see it. I am adding it to the Teacher-Librarians page.
