6th grade visited today to select books. This young man opted to sit next to me, curled up, to enjoy his Alan Gratz book. Made my ❤️ happy to see readers self select & then read, where they want. #choicematters #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #everyoneisareader #publiceducationmatters
When the library is used by other classes, I grab a cart to make a "cartmobile" to take to my students! #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #readingisreading #publiceducationmatters
Today was gathering & preparing images of staff, showcasing that they are Readers by Choice, not Chance for February's theme of celebrating the love of reading! (Yes, I will share the template!) #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #readingisreading #VikingReaders #publiceducationmatters
Was honored to share about experiences and sites in Rome, connecting content and sharing stories. #iamaschoollibrarian #storytelling #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Collaboration today was with my librarian colleague from a different district to survey the @oelma.bksy.social members about their thoughts and needs for an alternative title database.

Glad to collaborate with the school guidance counselor! She provided a list of students & asked for book recommendations based on their reading interests. Much fun to consider titles to bring these readers together. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Today brought the opportunity to help @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social by sharing my thoughts on her challenging question, "What is the purpose of a school librarian?" #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
One of my favorite monthly tasks: swapping out guest librarians! Love her response to, "What do you think of when you think of a library?" -- I think of endless possibilities. (Happy to share about this; just DM me!) #iamaschoollibrarian #everyoneisareader #librariesareforeveryone
This is my first day event for staff -- and I'm excited! As a follow up to our jólabókaflóð a few staff members have asked for a book swap so... I'm excited to spend time with my colleagues. #iamaschoollibrarian #readingisreading

❄️Snow days❄️ the week before break throws everything off. Thinking outside the box, I become the traveling librarian: book talks, delivering holds, renewing book, & collecting returned items. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Supporting students interests and providing materials that align with class curriculum is one of the best parts of being a school librarian. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #studentchoice #publiceducationmatters
Today I had to support readers by purchasing audiobooks for their author study unit (and personal reading as they found new favorite authors!) #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
One of my favorite things: collaborate with colleagues. Teacher asked if I could purchase titles that align with his curriculum. He checked them out & previewed them. Students can find these - & similar - titles! #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Today I attend the @ohioea.bsky.social RA Assembly because I believe in fighting for every Ohio student. #publiceducationmatters #iamaschoollibrarian #advocacyforALLOhioStudents
Lunch in the library today was making snowmen (some with elaborate back stories), singing happy birthday, and just enjoying time together. #iamaschoollibrarian #libraryjoy #creativity
A district ELL coordinator told me that a student is loving this book—they don’t want to put it down. She asked if I could find similar titles to help keep this student engaged and excited. #iamaschoollibrarian #libraryjoy #librariesareforeveryone
Each month I share a "Quick Look at the Library" highlighting in a quick glimpse what has happened in the library the past month, sharing both a pdf and a link (you can find in comments). #iamaschoollibrarian #libraryjoy #librariesareforeveryone
A simple conversation while he was my principal and I his #schoollibrarian has turned into a reading friendship. Even now, 4 years since he was my principal, he asks for suggestions, knowing I’ll tailor to him.
Most recent recommendations. Any to add? #iamaschoollibrarian #readingjoy
Lunch in the library offers students time to be quiet, small groups, grab books, play games like chess, enjoy the fire…. #iamaschoollibrarian #librarylove
Reminding students we are all readers! Every month a staff member opts to be the guest librarian, sharing their perspective on books, reading, and libraries. #Allarereaders #Iamaschoollibrarian
Happy to have presented about #advocacy with AW #iamaschoollibrarian
