First staff book club meeting at our elementary school today. What an awesome bunch of educators. I found out about this opportunity from NC Humanities thanks to a @ncslma.bsky.social PD session last summer. #schoollibrarian #elementarylibrarian

Authentic engagement using digital tools with learners. That’s the goal—not just free time on devices, but students creating content that drives their own learning. #istecert #librarians

And here's a Canva template for a QSSSA slide deck. I created a template for my lesson slide decks so I can pre-type the question and stem in advance. #SchoolLibrary www.canva.com/design/DAF5E...

A kid in my 3rd grade class said it’s his grandma’s birthday. She’s 49. I will never get used to being a grandma’s age.

I’ve submitted my last assignment and am only a couple of weeks away from earning my MLIS. This will seem real as soon as the “I forgot to submit that assignment” nightmares end…

It’s hard to articulate the impact #comics have on spawning a love of #reading in the hearts of kids till you see 2 thirteen year olds who for 2+ years have told you they hate books b/c they’re boring obsessing & sharing #books like Smile & Awkward & Invisible Emmie.

Reconsidering “Diverse” As A Category - A major controversy about what should be included in a book vendor's book fair offerings shows why we need to reconsider "diverse" as a library category.

If you haven't read @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social's Knowledge Quest blog from today, stop what you're doing & read it. I always appreciate Steve's approach and perspective on various topics, this one is the strongest yet. Bravo, my friend. knowledgequest.aasl.org/reconsiderin...

The librarian who couldn’t take it anymore She loved books. And in a time of spreading book bans in public schools, that’s why this Florida librarian had to quit.

Snorlax in the library! He’s been awesome for kids who need downtime. Bonus: he doubles as a pool float if the library floods…

This led to a long discussion in my house about which doughnut day should be considered the more authentic doughnut day. We concluded that we agree with LouAnn. Every day can be doughnut day if we want it to be. Love your book!

It’s National Doughnut Day - the holiday so important that it happens twice a year! LouAnn the bear says you never need an excuse to eat doughnuts, but just in case you feel like you do, there it is! You’re welcome. 🍩 💕
