Episode 6: Comparison Is Expensive with Rebeca Fox

What if the reason your library program feels like it's falling short is that you're building someone else's?

In this episode of The Library Stage, Amanda Hunt welcomes Rebeca Fox, known as The Fox Reads on social media, a Texas high school librarian with nearly a decade in libraries and twelve years in the classroom before that, spanning elementary, middle, and high school. Fox takes the stage with the best library advice she ever received, from a fellow librarian who runs an honest-to-goodness garden inside his school: find what you're passionate about, what you're actually good at, and build your program out of that. Because the enthusiasm is the part that's contagious--not the program itself.

Pillar: 🩵 Discovery

Plus, Fox's Curtain Call:

• 🛠️ Edtech Tools: Her library resources: Teacher Pay Teacher store, her link in bio, her store on Librarians Teach
• 💡 Steal-this-idea: Get yourself on the campus leadership team. You'll learn more about what's actually happening on your campus than you ever will from inside the library and you'll be in the room when decisions about your program get made.
