Clearly I still have a lot to learn about scrolling through this app 🤦🏻‍♀️
But thank you!

I’d love to be added, please! Also THANK YOU for making this list!!!

I interviewed for a job that was an elementary “librarian.” At that job I would have been teaching library lessons for K-5 at 2 different schools and also leading math intervention. I wouldn’t have been involved with book exchange, classroom teachers would bring their students when I wasn’t there.

Unfortunately that is also part of the argument: we are viewed as staff members who read/aren’t doing anything all day, so give us some classes to teach because of the shortage.

Schools get to say “look! We have a real librarian!” without including the fine print of our availability.

I was hoping you would make an account here! There are some library faves from The Other Site that I was keeping in my search so I remembered to periodically check 😂

I am not @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social, buuuut I am also happy!

Thank you for this list!!! I’m trying to find more school librarians here.

Students frequently express frustration that they can’t come to the library during certain periods—especially since sometimes the only period they have time is when I am closed due to teaching.

It breaks my heart because it is so important that I be available to them AND work w/ their teachers.

YES! The only real inconvenience for me right now is that I started at my school library a year ago and inherited books with barcodes that are…all over the place!

It’s more important to benefit our readers than to do something that will save us a little time 1x/year.
