REGIONAL LIBRARY REPRESENTATIVES' NETWORK

The Regional Library Representatives’ Network (RLRN) provides professional development and networking opportunities to New York City Department of Library Coordinators and the Regional Instructional Specialists so they can better support the school librarians in their regions. Networking sessions complement the support offered by the Library Office of the New York City Department of Education.

Members of the Regional Library Representatives’ Network develop tools aimed at improving school libraries across New York City. Products of this work include the Library Learning Walk, a collaborative tool that helps administrators, librarians and teachers define a vision and direction for their library program, and a professional development plan that enables principals to identify the components of a thriving library media program.
