Best thing about library genius bars? Kids hanging out with us working and spending time in a friendly space! These kids were working on math, enrollment forms and one just stopped by to say hi at the end of lunch! We highly recommend ditching the circ desk! #schoollibrariesFTW
Unexpected ✨bonus✨ from our new bins: It has been SO MUCH easier to communicate the concept that “the Pokémon books are all checked out by other friends right now”. The bin makes this idea so concrete for our youngest Ss! Also, it’s obvious we need to get more! 😂
Weeding our fiction section is going sooo slowly (thanks to some staffing issues), BUT I have a few genres in their final form and it’s giving me hope! Check out the pre-weeding, post-weeding, and final bottom heavy shelving pics. I ❤️ how much space for faceouts this provides!
@SteveSheinkin was riveting @ KLA this morning! Session was TOO SHORT!😁 Thx for digging deep & bringing history to life! @usd259libraries he’s a must-have author. @KansasLibraries thx for bringing him to ICT! I’m grabbing 1 or 2 titles from @wichitalibrary for the wknd!
Huge thanks to @KansasLibraries and the awesome indie @Watermarkbooks for a great day in Wichita!
Hitting the road tomorrow with lots of goodies for my teacher librarians friends. ❤️ #tlchat #futurereadylibs #istelib
@LMS_United @ksschoollib , one of your own will be on next week’s episode. Get ready! 😁
The idea that students will only find interesting what they can immediately relate to is kind of insulting, not gonna lie.
Virtue-signaling Twitter mobs seem to want to attack people more than they want to help people. Instead of focusing on people & ideas you hate, focus on people & ideas you love.
"Learning to concentrate is an essential but ever more difficult challenge in a culture where distraction is omnipresent." --Maryanne Wolf (Reader Come Home)
@tadaaa_aaadat @IAmMarkManson Pretty interesting that this was exactly the opposite for me. My life changed forever when I realised there is a God and He loves me, that I’m not a mistake, and that my life has meaning each day.
@IAmMarkManson Boundaries, limits, “boxes” enhance creativity, not stifle it. I really enjoyed writing poetry as a kid. Grade 8 my English teacher made us write haikus. I hated them because I felt that they just limited me…then I realized the limits were the point. Simple but changed my life
This short video explains what it means to us to #BeProHuman 💙 What does #ProHuman mean to you?
No. I have seen countless children’s lives ruined by that plant smoked by their parents. The perfect example of a luxury belief. Never underestimate the impact your behaviour has on children, even if those children are not yours.
No victim, no crime! @joerogan
“We support free speech as a right but only if you say what we want you to say” is not a coherent position.
Did I try to start a “library” chant at the school board meeting last night? Yes. Did it work? No.
