School libraries are more than books, they build critical thinking, equity, and opportunity. But they’re facing growing censorship and funding threats. Our article breaks down why it matters and how you can take action to protect access for all students. www.freedomtoreadproject.org/school_libra...

School Libraries Matter: Why We Should Care and How to Take Action

At a time when information is everywhere but trust is harder to find, school libraries play an essential role in helping students learn not just what to think, but how to think.

For many students, the school library is the only place where they can freely explore a wide range of perspectives.

For the past several years I have done a March Picture Book contest with 16 newish books for my students to enjoy and vote for their favorite. It is a lot of work and I wasn’t going to do it this year but a group of my library regulars asked me about it this week then begged me to do it.

Friday’s staff training was conducted by the Sheriff’s department on how to respond to an active shooting at our school. It is depressing and horrifying that we have this as PD now. #Edusky #SchoolLibrarian #Teaching #ElementaryEd

Always interesting. The ICE detention center diagram is horrifying and reminds me of slave ship diagrams. I did get sucked into the women’s sizing changes.

My school's readers love the INVESTIGATORS series & have been anxiously awaiting John Patrick Green's AGENTS OF S.U.I.T.: SEW MUCH TROUBLE! Sven's in the spotlight here, going undercover in a reality show competition to catch a BBQ sauce thief. Lots of humor & hijinks! #MGLit @mackidssl.bsky.social

Does everyone feel they must accomplish something over the weekend to justify the time spent relaxing, reading or watching shows? This weekend I did laundry, washed sheets and comforter (this is laundry expansion pack), shopping, cleaned windows and cooked dinner. Now I feel less guilty.
