My goal was to visit each of our district’s 47 school LLCs & learn about what makes each #LLC unique for its community of learners
Goal met!
#libraryjoy is abundant in #SD38Richmond
I am inspired by the many ways our teacher librarians create space for kids to feel seen & heard

Treasure Mountain Canada. January 29-February 1, 2025. Join the school library community to learn about impactful programs and research going on across Canada.

When I first started summer lending a few years ago, I never imagined it would grow to include workshops and journal articles co-constructed with @exlibrismrhunt & colleagues in my district. The movement grows! Join me at Treasure Mountain in Toronto in January where I’ll be sharing my research.
