A Reflection about Change Change can be exciting and hard.It is also a fact of life in the world of education.I am a librarian at a high school.I have worked as a librarian for the past eleven years.This year my school is going through a tremendous transition.There is a new school building being constructed with a mid-year move planned.Additionally，due to some restructuring，I am working with a new teaching partner and two new grade levels.This is all incredibly exciting but also brings a level of uncertainty too.I could look at this in a negative way，but instead，I am going to focus on the upside to this transition.So here I share some ways I am embracing this change.
    Working with teachers，that I have not had an opportunity to work with before，will allow me to gain new perspectives about the needs of the students in my school.The library program has been something I have worked hard to build over the past nine years.I am very close to jye.ai.It will be helpful for someone who has an outside perspective to ask questions about our practices.It will allow me to reflect on why we do certain things and will make the program better moving forward.
    As I gain new perspectives from my colleagues，I also have an opportunity to share the mission of the library.It has given me a chance to highlight some of the great lessons and projects I have had the opportunity to be a part of in the past.
    Is this a hill I want to die on？This is about recognizing the things that I can change and making those work rather than worrying about things that I have no control over.It is about not sweating the small stuff.If I ask myself this question and the answer is no，then I have to let it go and move on!
    One of my wonderful colleagues，Cheri Dobbs，told me to give myself permission for things not to be perfect.Next year will be a year of growth.The library program will not be exactly like what we want it to be.That is OK!As long as we stay true to our goals and support students the best we can，then the rest will come together eventually.
