I think the only thing more heartfelt than the superintendent's holiday email was my Reply All thanking the superintendent, executive cabinet, and the board for all the hard work they do for the rest of us throughout the year.

JUST NOW: Jan. 6 Committee Chair Rep. Bennie Thompson responds to Trump's serious threats of throwing the Democrats who served on the January 6 committee in jail.
Who else agrees Biden must PARDON lawmakers on the January 6 committee?

Luigi Mangione and Altoona McDonalds are the names of main characters in a Eudora Welty short story and nothing you can say is going to convince me otherwise.

Did anyone else have a library class in middle school? Like… we legitimately had a class in our library where we learned how to classify books using the Dewey Decimal System, learned how to research and cite information, learned how to use encyclopedias and almanacs, etc.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s perfectly acceptable to answer “books and cinnamon rolls” when someone asks what your weekend plans are.

A series that often gets overlooked when discussing books that made up childhood from the mid-1960s to the late '80s is ALRED HITCHCOCK & THE THREE INVESTIGATORS. Created by Robert Arthur - who only wrote some - they starred Jupiter Jones, Pete Crenshaw & Bob Andrews. Were you a fan? I loved 'em.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
