Irreverent, no-shush school librarian. Nothing on here represents my employer. Definitely. Nada, zilch, zero.
My online library says thank you with Halloween candy on top to the wonderful @Novel_Effect for helping make such a connection with students, even through a screen. Also, obviously, HUGE thanks to illustrator @itspeterbrown and author Aaron Reynolds for their #creepycreations

I know there are more magic schools out there so if you have a fave series, I would love to hear from you! 💌

Have Ss who need to do 2 things at once to help them focus? Running an #onlineschoollibrary, I sometimes use @byStickTogether boards while we're reading a light novel. The kids ❤ it!
