A day in the life of a school librarian—winter break book checkouts, tech help, 13 Breakout EDU games, lunchtime bingo (thanks to an idea from @livluvlibrary), and spending time with a future librarian talking shop! #necessitynotaluxury #tlchat #noshhlibrary #109way #bestjobever
"Additionally, more than one in five Americans (22%) receive health advice from social media influencers, especially Gen Z (40%) and Millennials (39%) versus Gen X (18%) and Boomers (3%)."

Many thanks to @CindyOtis_ for sharing a copy of her book - can't wait to dive in! #InformationLiteracy #NecessityNotALuxury #SchoolLibrarians #tlchat
It's tough for our MG Ss to visit the library, so I do "to your desk" deliveries of holds (new catalog is AWESOME!!).
T saw that, started talking to S, now T wants to borrow the book!
Community of reading forming before my eyes! 🎉

This was a really inspiring webinar - seeing how passionate a former student was about what her school librarian did & helped facilitate is a great reminder how #SchoolLibrarians are a #NecessityNotALuxury!

Certified #SchoolLibrarians are trained to educate students (and faculty) about the importance of #InformationLiteracy - evaluating info sources & sticking to reliable ones. That's why #SchoolLibrarians are a #NecessityNotALuxury!

It's important for students to know that many of their main sources of info online DON'T restrict false info. #SchoolLibrarians teach this as part of #InformationLiteracy - which is why they are a #NecessityNotALuxury!

A certified #SchoolLibrarian can help students learned to overcome ignorance and recognize false knowledge! It's called #InformationLiteracy, and, like having #SchoolLibrarians, it should be a #NecessityNotALuxury in education.

Great reminder! While Google might help find info, #SchoolLibrarians help you know what questions to ask, how to use Google’s features to get better responses, and how to assess the info Google offers.

"Normal for many #SchoolLibrarians is hidden behind the lack of understanding of what a school librarian does and normal for many school librarians is a constant battle to demonstrate the expertise hidden behind the school library door."
