06 Jul Not your father’s high school library! Tim Nielson, Marietta High School librarian
Tim Nielson never connected with any of his teachers growing up. He also rolled his eyes when he heard other soon to be teachers say they wanted to make a difference in a child’s life.
But, it turns out he did become one of those teachers. One of his first students tracked him down on facebook to thank him and another student’s mom said that he flipped a switch and her son was changed, all because of Tim.
So as the librarian of Marietta High School, Tim uses every chance to create a space for students to potentially flip their switches.
We take a tour of the media center complete with coffee bar stage (Cafe Libre), a makers space and a soon to be audio/video production studio.
