Hi blogmasters:
If you have a blog for your library, copy the below user-oriented text and paste it as an entry into your own library’s blog. Go ahead – steal it. We want you to. You may wish to edit the text or add specific resources to spotlight or customize your own library’s services or user focus. Just don’t forget to add a hyperlink that takes them directly to your library’s local page!
Have a good week,

Everyone’s headed back to school – from first-time kindergartners to non-traditional college students, teachers and faculty, parents, and even your library’s friendly staff, no one is immune to the Back to School bug. And every fall, when classes roll in, Ask a Librarian – Florida’s statewide virtual reference service – helps countless users find what they need to make a strong start. Not sure what you need? No problem! We can help you find books on certain topics, books for specific ages, grades, or reading levels, books in different languages, print size, and other formats, and much more. You tell us where you are or where you want to be, and we’ll help you locate the resources to get you on your way. Librarians across Florida are standing by and ready to help you through live chat. What are people asking?
My 3rd grade daughter has to do a book report. Can you recommend any books for her?
Need help finding a book for my history class! It needs to be about colonialism.
I am a teacher looking for books appropriate for 5th graders (not too easy; not too hard).

Your library has tons of resources available, in print and online, to help everyone move to the head of the class. No matter what you’re looking for, we’ll help you find it!
