Learn how we created design challenges and found fun activities that engaged our students in design and creativity.

AASL Tour Presentation

Diana Rendina

Diana Rendina is a teacher librarian at Tampa Preparatory School who has been transforming the school's library space. When she started in 2017, the library's collection was outdated and there was no variety in learning zones. Since then, she has updated 71% of the collection titles, added new materials like graphic novels and manga, improved the furniture and layout to encourage collaboration, and created a makerspace called the Idealab. Upcoming renovations will further develop different conversation levels and academic support offices to create a more modern learning environment.

How to use Instagram to connect with your community.pdf

Diana Rendina

Using a social media as a way to promote your library can sometimes seem daunting or overwhelming. But using Instagram can be a powerful advocacy tool, and it doesn't have to take a ton of your time to keep up with it. I'll share strategies for coming up with posts, reaching out to your community and planning ahead so that you don't have to constantly worry about what to post when. I'll share examples from my own library Instagram account (@TPrepLibrary) and show you how I plan and schedule posts once a week. I'll also share some great IG accounts to follow for more ideas and inspiration.
