We were talking about libraries in class today and I showed all of the things the local branch does. Book clubs in a bag, a seed library, museum passes, music, movies, board games, yard games. Libraries, I said, are magical places. No student disagreed with me. @njasl.bsky.social

Yes: We need a librarian in every school. [Without a professional librarian, a school is just a building with classrooms] #SchoolLibrarians #teachers #literacy Librarians bring learning to life @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social @ncte.org @njasl.bsky.social

New year, new ideas: #SchoolLibrarians share your favourite #SchoolLibrary and #LibraryLesson activities and initatives so we can all benefit from a bit that elusive mid-winter, start-of-a-new-term #inspiration! Please and thanks! Signed, a school librarian with the Sunday scaries :)

In Ep. 44 of the SLLN Podcast, @lindseykimery.bsky.social shares great ideas for removing barriers to school library access! #TLSky Show notes now include tips for SLs starting out on Bluesky! sllnpodcast.libsyn.com/removing-bar...

I had a super fun time talking with Steve on the SLLN podcast! Barriers to access can, unfortunately, be common, but are there workarounds or alternative ways of providing support? Check out the episode for a few ideas! @aaslala.bsky.social #tasltn #mnpslibraries

"It’s an easy starting point & can come up in really any class when kids are sharing information,” @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social says in this Publishers Weekly story. “You can just ask, ‘Where did you hear that?’ or, ‘How do you know that that’s true?’" #EduSky www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...
