6 Ontario School Library Association The Editor's Notebook Diana Maliszewski Time is valuable, elusive, fleeting, and precious. I want more of it but when I have it, I often don't use it in the best way I can. It reminds me of the famous story of filling a jar with rocks, pebbles, and sand. (You can read the story here: developgoodhabits.com/rock-pebbles-sand) As the web version of this analogy says, if we fill up the jar of our life with sand first, that is, the small or insignificant things, then we will not have room for the pebbles (things that matter but you can live without) or the rocks (the most important things that give your life meaning). It's hard to distinguish the pebbles from the sand sometimes. I can't procrastinate on my collection weeding indefinitely so I chunk up the tasks by year. This season it's time for re- evaluating the fiction section; sneaking a 30-minute session here and there to tackle a shelf means that I'm half-way through the task. Despite the plans, there's never enough time to get to everything! In this, Volume 25 Issue 2 of The Teaching Librarian, we are fortunate to have a cross-Canada perspective on the theme. Sandra Bebbington and Julian Taylor, from Quebec, describe one method of professional learning that respects and understands the time constrictions that school library professionals face daily. Jennifer Brown and Melanie Mulcaster share their experience attending Treasure Mountain Canada 5 in Manitoba with teacher-librarians from all over the country. Darren Pamayah provides a description of a time-efficient way to promote school library advocacy here in Ontario. Along with our regular fixtures, we hope you'll have the time to peruse them all. z The Teaching Librarian is looking for contributors! Are you interested in writing for The Teaching Librarian?
