My gift to myself this year was the Lego library kit (it was an add on only option from Lego store). BUT, it is nestled together with my drop box & card catalog & fellow Lego librarian. 🤩 P.S. you can buy the drop box and card catalog from: buff.ly/4h2qHPv

Wishing you all a joyful start to the New Year! I want to put positivity & kindness out into the world this year, so 1 of my goals for 2025 is to use my VOICE more to share accurate school library stories to highlight all of the amazing things school librarians do every single day.

I decided to do away with Wellness Wednesdays and do out relaxation activities any and all the time. Inspired by @andreatrudeau.bsky.social's Calming Corner, I added a rack to organize our various printouts students can take & use.

nebraskanewsservice.net/education/wh... A few months ago a journalism student at UNL reached out to see if she could interview me for an article for her Capstone. Truth is, this article could be about school librarians anywhere, but I am honored to be a part of the story.

I've added BINGO caller to my school librarian resume. A short chat with an admin at the beginning of the year led to the purchase of this inexpensive kit & BINGO sessions held randomly during lunch. It's been pretty fun so far.

As we say good-bye to November, a look back at some of the month's displays. Travel the world through books features books that take place in countries outside the US- a triangle on the corner shows country's name & flag. Also included, road trip books. This display is up throughout 2nd quarter.

As we say good-bye to November, a look back at some of the month's displays. Native American Heritage Month -- includes books on Native history and fiction books written by Native authors. I am meeting with the director of the local Indian Center to find even more titles to add to our collection.

As we say good-bye to November, a look back at some of the month's displays. November is Aviation History Month. We have an aviation focus program at my school & the teacher loans me old airplane parts to pair with books from our aviation section.

This year I decided our book turkey should morph into a book peacock. One of my library secretaries was an art major & did a great job talking an idea from basic to exquisite.
