Day 1 of #alaac25 and I was SO EXCITED to meet my academic advisor from The University of Alabama in person! Dr. Yates is the reason I was able to push through and finish successfully and he REMEMBERED me! I got to thank him and idk if I’ll ever have the right words ❤️ @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

It’s teacher appreciation week! As a brand new teacher librarian, it’d be real cool if you could share my GoFundMe with anyone you know with disposable income who loves librarians & teachers! #alaac25 #signalboost #crowdfund #librarysky

Why am I always criticized for not being humble? I know I’m good at what I do. Why should I be smaller for public consumption? Because I’m a woman? Please.

Help me attend my first #ALAAC as a REAL librarian! Due to budgeting in my school district, my school can’t fund my conference expenses, so I’ve made a GoFundMe so I can hopefully attend this year’s conference! Read my story and share as much as you can please!! #booksky #librarysky #librariansky 💙📚

My school doesn’t have the budget to send me to #ALAAC25 is it tacky to crowdfund a conference trip? I’ve never been to an ALA conference as a librarian and I’m dying to go!! Any resources for funding??

I am a baby high school librarian. This is my first NV Reading Week and I’m just in awe and astounded by myself. I started planning all of these activities and field trips and stuff TWO YEARS AGO in library school. Crazy to see it all coming to fruition. #booksky #librarysky 💙📚

I *really* loved this DRAGON BOOK with a DRAGON SCHOOL & a heavy de-colonization message and an incredible FMC. I kept forgetting it was YA! I’d never heard of this before picking it up at B&N! Loved it loved it loved it! 💙📚 #booksky

Book/piece of media number 6: N***** by Dick Gregory and the song/music video for “This is America” by Childish Gambino. I’m most proud of this paper, written in July of 2018 #booksthatradicalizedme

In 2016, Dr. Carla Hayden was sworn in as the 14th Librarian of Congress, our National Librarian. She is the first woman and first African American to lead the national library. She is library joy! Dr. Carla Hayden has always sought to bring the wonders of the library into everyone’s lives.

Susie King Taylor: Nurse, Teacher, War Hero. She IS Black History ✨

She was born into slavery in 1848. At age 7, she was allowed to live with her free grandma, Grandma Dolly. Her grandma did not know how to read and write, but she saw the value in both. She encouraged Susie to learn.
