I have been working in this role for 2 years now, and I love working with teens. I have two more semesters left for my MLIS. In addition to this class I am also interning at my local public library with the children\u2019s librarian, and I am excited to gain a new perspective on librarianship. There has been a lot of joy in the library with the launch of the summer reading program, and it has been fun interacting with a different age group of youth.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a strong tech background, and I am excited to try new things and learn new skills to take back to the high school library. My goal for next school year is to build out a website with resources for staff and students. I also support staff with research and assignments, and I am excited to hopefully bring in some ideas for assignments or checks for learning that use technology in a meaningful way. With LLMs improving and students plagiarizing AI work as their own, there has been a real shift away from technology in school (in some ways I am supportive of this), but to a point where a teacher had students do research projects without using the internet. I hope to provide teachers and students opportunities to incorporate technology into education which are meaningful and productive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9\" style=\"width: 317px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/ldee50\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/595\/2026\/06\/IMG_9841-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My friend and I (on the right) with our newest library card from Humboldt County, CA from a road trip up to Redwoods National and State Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Liz Grewal (they\/them), and I am a teacher librarian at a public high school in Oakland.
