There is hope after all! I’ve had many conversations with many teacher friends and they have all mentioned a decline in students’ reading levels since covid. Hopefully more school districts will ban the use of cellphones in school. www.wweek.com/news/schools...

PPS Students Are Flocking to Their School Libraries

This fall, phones went out of sight at Portland Public Schools buildings. And then something unexpected happened.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved books. I volunteered as a library helper in elementary school, later worked as a library media tech as an adult, and I’ve filled my home with shelves of books for my kids and myself, all because stories are important to me.

It’s a ✨COVER REVEAL✨ for Jeong Is Jeong, releasing 2/3/26 from @randomhousekids.bsky.social Pre-order link in bio! “What is Jeong?” a little girl asks her grandma, and so begins a lyrical journey of discovery, kindness, and understanding in this ode to Korean American language and culture.

Cover of JEONG IS JEONG written by Jessica Yoon, illustrated by Michelle Lee. A young Korean American girl smiles and raises her arms looking up at images of her family and folk art of a tiger and magpie coming out of a book
