Hello educator friends! I’m excited to booktalk these most excellent titles to you tomorrow. I hope you’ll enjoy using them with your students and exploring them together. Remember, if you need help with anything library-related just reach out! I’m here to help with book suggestions, library eCards for your students, and much more. Have a great in-service this week!

Hello 259 librarians! So glad to be a small part of your in-service today. I’m thrilled that so many of my diverse, #ownvoices favorites from the past year have won so many awards and that we had the chance to talk about them together today. Don’t forget, if you’d like to connect your students to eBooks and other online content I can help you get cards started for your school. Here’s to a great school year!

Thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your annual conference! I am so happy to share some books with you and to talk about how public libraries support the important work you’re doing in schools and in the classroom. May we continue to “engage the world” by sharing powerful stories … and providing windows and mirrors for all youth.
