Invite


 * Letter**

Dear [ ]:

I am writing to introduce myself to you and ask that you please consider a visit to our school. I am the (elementary, middle, high school) librarian at ___high school (middle school, elementary school). I would be most honored and excited for you to visit our school library to see the important educational lessons being taught. During your visit, you will watch a collaborative lesson that has been planned with another educator in the school. Our collaborative lesson will teach information literacy skills and also, content area skills. I would be most honored for you to visit at your earliest convenience so that you can see for yourself how school libraries are making a difference in student learning. I hope you can come and spend some time with our wonderful students and participate in the lesson. I will call your office to schedule a time that is convenient. In the meantime, if you have any questions you can either email or call me. My contact information can be found below.

I hope you will be able to visit our school library and watch as students participate in lessons that improve their information literacy and content area skills.

Sincerely,

Your Name, Address, Email, Phone


 * NOTE:** This is just an example, it would, of course, be better if you can personalize this letter by adding details about the lesson, students and teacher. For example, "I hope you will be able to visit and participate as Mrs. Smith's students learn how to evaluate websites."
