Hello, my name is Fallon and I am the teacher librarian at a big high school in Ventura, California. I’ve been enjoying all of the @aaslala.bsky.social activities, resources & live author panels for School Library Month! #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM

A2 The school library offers students another place to hone & develop leadership abilities. The years when I had a Library Advisory Board, our stakeholders told me how much value it added to the school. My students still tell me how much they loved the projects they gave input. #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM

A1 My elementary school librarian let me shelve books before school began & it helped to regulate my emotions for the day. It meant a great deal to me to have a quiet place to collect my thoughts. We are still in touch to this day! #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM

A3 I give them menus regularly of ways they can use me & the library directly with their students. I also share promotional slides on our school wide announcements so they see a lot of what we do there, too. #TLSkyChat

Local illustrator & author donated her bookmarks that go with her illustrated cookbook, The Kitchen Under the Stairs ⤵️ It made me wonder if anyone has run a bookmark design contest where the bookmark is inspired by a book? #SchoolLibraries

"My school’s library, however, was a portal that enabled me to feel known and our school librarian was eager to help." #AASLslm buff.ly/z2u8TfR
