So true! Though I love physical books, it is not cheating to listen to an audiobook. Long before we had books, stories and knowledge were passed down through oral tradition and folklore.

Question from a pronoun frustrated educator: “But what is a gender neutral way of greeting a room of students?”
Me: “Hello everyone”

Happy School Library Month to the dedicated and skilled school librarians of Fairfax County!
We ❤️ our school libraries! At the heart of our school communities, libraries spark a love of reading and foster information gathering skills.
Give your school librarian a 'thank you' in April for #SchoolLibraryMonth!

There’s work in the spirit of saving poor vulnerable Black children and there’s work in the spirit of cultivating the unique often underestimated genius in Black children. They are not the same.

Is it coincidence that kids start to check out of their education during middle school?
Right about the time that GRADES and TESTS and THE FUTURE start to dominate teacher talk? When learning for learning's sake is sidelined for outcomes?
I'm thinking there's a connection...

School Librarians have to be advocacy pros! We’d love to share ideas with you in our next chat!

Great for kids AND adults.. we all need to work on apologies and really offering them and then repairing any harm!
