Those are the founding members of our In The Life Of (a GTHS podcast) club. Come learn more about them at Club Rush tomorrow!

Two #FirstPageFriday offerings for you! #GTHSReads The first book, in recognition of Labor Day, is set around a tragedy that transformed worker protections. Celebrate Wilderness Month with the second book about the U.S.’s first national park. Have you visited it?

#FirstPageFriday is a generational story about choices, family, and love. When one is cursed by the sea, does she dare fall in love with a boy with tattoos of the ocean? #GTHSReads

We are so lucky to have an amazing Librarian at our school! Jacqueline Rich brings so much joy and love for books to our students. She makes every visit to our library truly magical! #cjusd #birneyproud

Our LatinX/Hispanic Heritage Month book display is now up in the Library😊

Tomorrow is the last day of #BannedBooksWeek, but we celebrate your #FReadom to read all year. Our #FirstPageFriday is a reminder that #BooksUniteUs by revealing our shared humanity even if our experiences and stories are different. #GTHSReads

Today is the first day of voting for #FatBearWeek! Go to explore.org/fat-bear-week to see today’s matches and cast your vote. Stop by the library to pick up a bracket and see each day’s match.

When your amazing GTHSASB Director asks if the library would be willing to be the host space, you say yes because (1) it’s for the students and (2) it will be beautiful. Instructions for how you can be a part will be coming from ASB soon. #CJUSD

If you have not yet read Legendborn , you should! You can borrow it from the library. Next Wednesday we will be joining others in LA to hear Ms. Deonn speak about Bloodmarked and we can’t wait to share that experience with you! #GTHSReads

📢 Teachers & librarians: if you're decorating your spaces for Christmas but not for Eid, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanza etc. etc. it's a disservice to your students. I'm all for celebrating religious holidays, but please don't show favoritism 📢

The spice drops were NOT the prize! #CJUSD We’ll post the January Library Challenge on January 1. #GTHSReads

Although the # of books is just 1 aspect of a well-developed collection, 1 professional recommendation is that high quality school libraries should have 15-20 books per student. Our GTHS library has 5.5 books per student, far below a high quality school library. #GTHSReads #CJUSD

New displays are up! And more are coming. The Youth Media Awards are the Oscars for children’s and young adults books. We have several of the finalists and winners! Do you have a favorite romantic trope? There’s a book waiting for you to fall in love with it! #GTHSReads #CJUSD

I am so so thankful for all the school librarians I know. They are inspirational, challenging, and supportive! AASL Colton Joint Unified Tina_Petersen Ed.D.
