My favorite reminder this afternoon from Kelsey Bogan (DontYouShushMe.Com) #AASL23

So today, thanks to my bestie erika long, Nic Stone is my new bestie too! Working to make my What If a What IS! #AASL23 #ALLibraries

I had a great turnout and positive feedback from my first national conference presentation. What a joy to share and learn from library colleagues from all around the country @AASL. #AASL23

What is “media literacy”? For school #librarians at #AASL23 who have the mind virus 🦠 it’s racism/Marxism training for kids. They say it in the open. Listen 👂.

DO NOT FOLLOW American Library Association AASL “STANDARDS.”

Loved learning about sustainable creativity with my friends Meggan Ford🔜 #GLMA Summer Institute and @Mrs_Bongi #AASL23 AASL

Reflecting on the ✈️ about #AASL23 by creating an action list to put the ideas sparked by sessions and conversations into practice.

I find that the physical act of writing commits ideas to long-term memory for me in a very effective way.

What gets a bunch of school librarians out of bed on a Saturday morning? Nic Stone! Grateful for her sharing about her writing and the importance of shining a light on mental health. #AASL23

Did you know that research conducted shows that reading scores increase when diverse books are added to libraries? This was mentioned in the opening session today at #AASL23 . Search online to see the articles about it.

I really stunk at taking pics today but I did snag a few. I listened to an excellent panel of Librarian MVP’s discuss the value of plan’s, got lots of hugs from so many friends, learned a new Canva trick, and listened to a wonderful author panel of adventure writers.

Packing for #AASL23 and so excited! If you’re in Tampa this weekend, come say hi!! Really looking forward to joining Sydney Dunlap and Maria Jose Fitzgerald in our Tackling Tough Topics for Tweens panel on Saturday. Come join us! #librarians #educators

So excited to be headed to Tampa for #AASL23 ! AASL on Friday, I’ll be signing books at the Lerner Books booth, and on Saturday I’m joining Maria Jose Fitzgerald and Sydney Dunlap in a panel on Tackling Tough Topics for Tweens. Come say hi! #librarians #educators

I think every school librarian needs the lessons taught by @Mrs_Bongi and Karina Q.,MLS🖤Mötley Cüe in their Creating Joyful Library Experiences session at #AASL23 ! Great ideas for student-focused activities but also giving yourself grace as a school librarian trying to do all the things!

Find your “what if”. Be cogent. Be compassionate. Be creative. Be collaborative. Nourish yourself. Keep fighting. #AASL23 #NicStone

I am in love with this idea. Two middle schools in neighboring (yet significantly different) communities come together over a BOOK! Thank you for sharing Janine Johnson & Tim Salem #aasl23

Some positive news out of the Human Rights Campaign #YouthSurvey - Almost 90% of LGBTQ+ Ss feel safe in their #SchoolLibrary . 🎉🙌🏻 #AASL23

Reading should always be a joyful event! Today, these SC school librarians marched across the stage at the #AASL23 Right to Read Rally.

I’ve spent the last few days on cloud 9 at the #AASL23 conference… can any of my observant friends see why? #lmslife #books4all

What’s up, Tampa? Excited to spend the next few days with school librarians from across the country! #AASL23
Now where’s the spooky stuff at?

Hey #AASL23 ! Come see me tomorrow at 3:00 in Room 111 for my session on Students as Community Problem Solvers! There are also incredible sessions with other amazing librarians happening at the same time that I wish that I got to attend!
