While many of the digital tools and pedagogical tactics the author learned prior to the pandemic offered her insight into the successful implementation of a library's resources, the question of how she would leverage school library's services has evolved into opportunities of reevaluation, growth, and transformation during a global pandemic. Her role within the school's community influenced the preparation needed to take the school's classes fully online during her district-wide shutdown. Fortunately, the professional development opportunities that she sought during the pandemic extended her skill set and gave her the foresight necessary to evaluate the systemic obstacles that the school would encounter through virtual learning. The role of the school librarian has seen a radical change for digital inclusion that leverages communication and innovation among their community and its stakeholders. This article highlights practices and strategies that transformed and influenced a school librarian's ability to take the lead in facilitating student learning during the pandemic.

Unprecedented. That word has been heard so many times in the past eighteen months that it has all but lost its meaning. But it's a fitting word for what has been experienced from March 2020 until now. In this article, three school librarians share their perspectives on how they handled such unprecedented times. They speak more often than not of their tireless efforts to support their students, but there is also a vulnerability present that illuminates the struggles they faced on a daily basis. These stories provide a raw and personal (and probably familiar and validating) account of the ups and downs of the pandemic. These stories can provide ideas for serving students' social-emotional needs in unprecedented times and beyond. These stories are proof of what was already known: there is something for everyone at the school library because of school librarians!
