School librarians improve literacy outcomes. It is time that we stop thinking of school libraries as a luxury or an outdated, quiet room. All schools need a school library staffed by a certified school librarian. #TLSky #skybrarian www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...
Investing in School Libraries and Librarians To Improve Literacy Outcomes
Libraries and librarians not only spark a love of learning; they are crucial to reversing low reading assessment scores across the country.

I know I've seen the answer to this somewhere before, but is it against copyright to use the document camera to project a book for one class in the library? Trying to help a fellow librarian with something.
Direct me to the official links if you've got them.

Ran a title wave report yesterday. I felt excitement to see how much better the collection was with my new purchases. Ha! As I bought new books my books got older.
It was such a slight improvement it stunned me. I’ve got to finish my plate so I can get out there and weed!

Happy LUNAR New Year!!!
As a mother of children of Asian descent, please remember to wish your students, colleagues, family, and friends a happy Lunar New Year, not Chinese New Year. People in Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, and Bhutan also celebrate Lunar New Year.

If you could order topics what would you choose??
Question for middle & high school teachers & librarians: what’s something you wish authors & publishers would include in classroom discussion guides for YA fiction?
Asking for a friend … 😊

Historic neighborhood destroyed by fires.
It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.
Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. This thread about teachers, teaching reading and reading children literature makes me nod in agreement.
I often come across suggestions that teachers need to be experts in children's literature and, crucially, that significant amounts of professional development time should be devoted to achieving this aim.
Let's explore this idea a little because I think aspects of it are problematic. 🧵🪡
