This #GivingTuesday, help us build a library at the Jane Adeny Memorial School where every child sees themselves in the stories they read. Your gift provides "mirror" books and furniture for our continued project in Kenya!

📚 Donate today to empower young readers!

Yay! I love seeing this! Thank you for sharing!

It went well—lots of rich discussion! I’m excited to keep the conversation going as our district continues to figure out how to navigate AI. Thank you! 😊

Elizabeth Gilbert is one of my faves! So great connecting with you at #AASL25!

National conferences are reunions for reconnecting with friends!🥰 #AASL25 @wpray.bsky.social @livluvlibrary.bsky.social @andreatrudeau.bsky.social @dshensleyedu.bsky.social

Yes! I wondered if you were here!

Feeling grateful and excited to be at #AASL25 to connect, learn, and grow with fellow school librarians!

In 9 days, I'll be heading to St. Louis to attend one of my favorite conferences: #AASL25! If you'll be there, stop by one of my sessions on Friday! I'm honored to be co-presenting with phenomenal librarians! @captainlibrary.bsky.social @mauramadigan7.bsky.social @kelseybogan.bsky.social ky.social

Cannot wait!!! 😍

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

A colleague shared that article with me yesterday. Yep… 😕

This photo is now a couple years old, but it remains one of my favorites that we took during one of my favorite conferences.These are incredible librarians, humans & friends. ❤️ I cannot wait to be reunited w/them in just a few short weeks at AASL in St. Louis! Photo credit: Julie Monacella #TLsky

I'm really digging The New Happy. Sign up for their newsletter to receive glimmers and words (and images) that really get you thinking and inspire joy. So grateful for today's e-mail! sparklp.co/e72d86ad/ #selfcare #wellbeing #TLsky

A book display of cookbooks

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 to use this Analog Inspiration deck with my instructional practices committee next week to inspire conversations about how to maintain human-centeredness in the age of AI. www.analoginspiration.ai #humancentered #noshhlibrary

Can’t wait to see how this Would You Rather shakes out in my middle school library. Which one would you vote for? #librarylife #humancentered #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

Brilliant! I love this idea!!!

☺️

Correction: do you…

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 simple and fun way to promote a reading culture in your school—laminated What I’m Reading signs! Staff can post these and share what they are reading. It inspires all kinds of conversations! #noshhlibrary #read #librariesmatter

The JAMS Library Project continues! Phase Two is here: comfy furniture, more books students love, & better library tools. We’re not done yet—help us keep building!

One last video of our time aboard. I could have stayed home doing laundry all summer, but decided to be adventurous. Always dream big and do things that make you happy. Life is short. @andreatrudeau.bsky.social @captainlibrary.bsky.social
