It is self-evident that we are not.

That’s why the role is called Teacher-Librarian!
Teacher first,
then upgraded
to Teacher-Librarian.
Doubly skilled.
Even when I appear to be only librarianing, I’m still also teaching. Everything I do is teaching…and librarianing.
What’s their superpower?
(I’d celebrate it w/out degrading it.)

A non-teacher adult stopped in the library between classes today -
Her: “You should be a teacher! That lesson was so interesting, and you were so engaging with the students!”
Me: “Thanks. I taught English for 24 years before this.”

Thank you to all the librarians. You play a vital role in society that will become even more important in this anti-science time.

Self-care station…but for the soul!
A lovey lady donated this vintage card catalog to the #library, and I wasted no time in turning it into a Kindness Station. For students and by students, anyone can come by for a pick-me-up.
The library is truly the third space. ❤️ #libraries #librarylife

Yet another “school choice” piece of legislation in my state. Voters voted against it in November. How infuriating is it to hear the same thing over again?
