Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Our teachers are some of the most important influences in our lives.
I’ll always have their backs.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

A young black woman with short wavy hair is wearing a print dress. She stands before an old bookmobile which is black and had "Greenville County Library" written on it in white lettering. The bookmobile is parked in front of a brick building.
Annie McPheeters was a bookmobile librarian and later managed segregated libraries in Atlanta where she ran adult education programs for Black patrons especially surrounding civics and voting. She campaigned for library desegregation. #BlackHistoryMonth

Senior CTE student built me a return cart by repurposing an old AV stand. WIN!
A2: when I was a campus librarian, my students would have called the library the room of requirement. It was for quiet study or reading, making, games, karaoke, guest speakers, lessons, technology help, tutoring, events, oh, and books!

Hi, I'm making dinner, so I'll post sporadically
A3: I set up a 3D printer in the library window & always had something printing. It brought in curious students and I was able to give them books about additive manufacturing 😃

Librarians and other educators have essential duties to step up & address the issue any time we believe a child is being harmed. This includes being harmed by AI, and make no mistake, it is harming not only our students, but also our adults, and our society.
“Everybody’s scared, everybody’s nervous. ... Our staff of color are carrying all their papers just in case. ...
Never did I think that would be something that I would ever have to say. .. I’m sad—in disbelief and just so angry that our staff and our students are going through this.”
There are more public libraries nationwide than there are Starbucks or McDonalds, and while they don’t have the reputation for being everywhere that those stores enjoy, public libraries remain as a valuable resource that can turn an interest into a full-blown passion.
