Read by the author himself. I knew about the contentious issues raised and pushback by #librarians which is why I made listening to this a priority. I appreciate when our beliefs are challenged and the opportunity to be open to new perspectives. #schoollibrarians

My goal is 💯 in Season 9: Record a #podcast episode in ALL 50 States. Excited to mail podcast swag to #schoollibrarians who record an episode from any of the following 13 states: AZ, DE, HA, ID, MN, MS, MT, NV, NM, SD, UT, WV, WY! 🎧🎤💡📚💙

These are all still fantastic resources for our students but we rely on digital access vs print. Just weeded my print versions because they become dated so quickly.

TY @iamgmjohnson.bsky.social for reading your #audiobook 🎤🎧💡💜 Your narration and musical interludes made this a true celebration and important-albeit long overdue-tribute.

As a #schoollibrarian and History major, this article marks me as a dying breed. And the fact that I opted to listen to the #audio format so I can multitask means I’m part of the problem. But it is vital to know the #learning preferences of our students (and their #K12 #teachers. bit.ly/3SVhd1T

The End of Reading Is Here

Optimists once believed that universal literacy was inevitable. Now it seems that the age of reading might be a short anomaly in human history.

Could have been worse. I had worms coming in when the rains were bad and there is (apparently) zero weather stripping under the door.

Over the years, I’ve padded my current role to with so many IRL responsibilities that #librarian is just one aspect of my job. We’ve always been proving our worth. But #AI has woken up other professionals who never had to justify their jobs.
