Want to keep this a happy place? Don't engage the trolls. I've discovered it's so easy to look at my "school libraries" feed and simply block anyone who's commenting things like "that book shouldn't be in the school library!" Keep the site working for you! #tlchat 📚

Watching old L&O SVU episodes. They find a library book next to a body and take it to the high school, where the library staff lady scans it and says "oh this was checked out by Michael [somebody]." *glances at computer* "He's absent today."
So many things wrong with that 15 second scene 📚 😆

Anyone have a starter pack to get pictures of cats on my feed? Not AI images, just cats being cute and/or assholes, to fit in between all the lovely library and literacy posts I've got going on. Picture of a cat at the Tower of London last summer for tax.

My students favorite thing in the school library- charging cords always out for use. They’re attached to the post and have 3 connections on each (one does chromebooks, which I didn’t even plan for!). Every hour they are in use. I have four, two at two different tables. Purchased from Amazon. 📚

In 2023 I made my first read of the year a bestseller from 1923. I think I may do that again. I also read one book for every letter of the alphabet (finishing up my Z book today!) but in 2024 I’m going to try this challenge that I saw on FB, I think…

Today after school a random teacher told 3 students to “hurry up and pick books, the librarian wants to go home.” ⁉️I went over and assured them they didn’t need to rush, we started talking books, and they ended up taking 7 books between the 3 of them. Just… don’t “help” me, ok? #schoollibraries

Found this gem while perusing photos on my old iMac. The time I met Neal Shusterman and didn’t take a photo with him, c2011. Tip for new librarians- take photos with every author you have the chance to meet. You’ll thank me someday.
