"More than 50 years of research across more than 60 studies show that students with access to well-resourced school libraries with certified librarians consistently perform better academically and score higher on standardized assessments." americanprogress.org/article/invest…
Hey friends, are you interested in becoming a super cool librarian? I may be biased, but it really is the best! Check out the opportunity below. 👇 mtsu.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_72…
Who doesn't love a virtual prize wheel!? To celebrate School Library Month, we had some giveaways thanks to our local @booksamillion! We appreciate your love and support for our district's school librarians. #HowILibrary @TASLTN
Today I got to see both 2nd graders and freshmen in their libraries! Mrs. Denton taught Geography students how to use technology tools to build infographics on different countries while Mrs. LeCates supported the EL curriculum through a literacy lesson on bats! #HowWeLibrary
Library spaces are so much more than book circulation. Thank you @rclstn for making this a reality in our communities. I know our students and families benefit greatly from your spaces and programming.

Our library EAs are the bread and butter! Thank your library EAs this week!
I spent the day at Capitol Hill, sharing all the good stories about our school libraries, including the impact and the love that librarians have for their students. I am grateful for @TNLA for helping to foster these conversations on Library Legislative Day! #HowILibrary
Happy School Librarian Day to all of our @rucoschools Library Media Specialists and EAs! You are SO appreciated.

Our librarian, Mrs. Bloom, does the coolest STEM activities! 5th grade students have learned how to create code on the computer, solve puzzles, and conduct interviews! These activities are all based on Computer Science standards. We love @KESMediaCenter! @RuCoLibraries
Ms. Cannon has been providing time and space in the library for students to craft #BlackoutPoetry, and the results are SO impressive. @BlackmanMiddle has some talented and insightful scholars!
