This cart shows the power of libraries. So grateful to my district and public library colleagues who helped me acquire enough copies of these titles for an ELA signpost lesson on Monday. We truly are better together! 🙌 #librarylife #bettertogether

Today a 6th grader pointed out the assigned door numbers in the library. For those who know middle schoolers well, you know exactly what happened next. 🤣 #librarylife #TLsky #middleschool

My cookbook display needs to be replenished daily! (A great problem to have.) This is definitely one of the most popular displays we’ve had in our library in awhile. I just love hearing all about students’ baking and cooking adventures when they check out these books! 🧑🍳 #read #noshhlibrary

Excited for our newest sections in the Shepard library—poetry and folk tales/fairy tales. My hope is they will get more love in this new location. Plus, who doesn’t love magnetic poetry? 😍 Shout out to @demcoinc.bsky.social for the awesome shelf dividers and spine labels, too! #read #librarylife

Librarians, so you have photo booth props in your library? They make picture-taking and “shelfies” (a library twist on selfies) so much more fun! I bought these on Etsy ages ago… #noshhlibrary #librarylife

A little taste of before & after at the Jane Adeny Memorial School Library. My heart is singing today—especially as we hear and see the reactions of library patrons. They are so excited for all of these books! Front-facing materials for the win! 🙌 @bldglibraries.bsky.social #BuildingLibraries #TLsky

It was such a joy starting my final day at #ISTELive and #ASCDAnnual with my dear friend and thought partner, @smgaillard.bsky.social! We chatted with quite a few folks about the power of belonging and the value of principal-librarian partnerships!
