So excited for the VAASL conference and to reconnect with my Longwood SLIB friends!!

We heard two amazing keynote speakers today at the VAASL conference! Thank you Aisha Saeed and Hena Khan for your inspiring words and for supporting librarians!

The Longwood SLIB alumni event at VAASL was so fun with Audrey Church going through a room of 100+ people saying their name and location, a little quiz, and the creation of the two word clouds that perfectly describe the instructors and program! Karla Collins Jen Spisak Carl Harvey II

"Can’t wait to share these books with our students!" Happy #FirstBookHaul Friday - thank you Heather Gonzalez for sharing your haul with us on Instagram! Remember to share your book photos with us for a chance to be featured. 📦❤️

The authors speaking at the VAASL conference were so inspiring, sharing stories about the impact librarians had on their lives. So lucky to have met both Author Lisa Fipps and Jarrett Lerner today! #librariansareessential

So grateful for the awesome group of LCPSLibraries represented at VAASL and my Longwood SLIB cohort friends! Such a fun two and a half days together! #librariansareessential Elissa Moritz

I love when, after checking out, students make themselves comfortable to read! I also loved my first day of book clubs with third and fourth grade, getting to know who the students are as readers! Guilford Elementary School #elementarylibrarian

Sweets and Sneak Peeks for the teachers today! I’m so excited to add all of these books to our collection! Guilford Elementary School #elementarylibrarian

So proud to be a part of the Longwood SLIB crew!

I love seeing their creativity shine!! After reading The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush by Tomie dePaola students created their own watercolor sunsets. Look at these beauties! Guilford Elementary School #elementarylibrarian

Today we read Balloons Over Broadway by Melissa Sweet and used our Ozobot to create a parade of our own! I mean, look at the smiles!! ❤️😍 Guilford Elementary School Candice Groover #elementarylibrary

Robots took over Guilford Elementary School today! Caitlyn Sullivan used iRobot to practice math facts in her small groups, students in library used Ozobot to make balloon floats with Heather Gonzalez, and Ms. Wenklar and I introduced Root robots to her class! #AwesomeDay #Coding

Triplet-ing in the library today! We may all do different jobs, but apparently having an office in the library puts you on the same wavelength! Guilford Elementary School Candice Groover

In hopes of making our March fair a true Book FAIR, I’m starting my fundraising now! The goal is to provide every student $8 to spend- if you are looking for places to donate this Giving Tuesday, I’d love for you to consider my Classroom Counts Campaign! shop.scholastic.com/viewCampaign?c…

Thank you Mr. Ryder for contributing to the Guilford Elementary School Library multi-cultural book selection. We appreciate your generosity, love of learning, and support as we “Pass the Baton”! Heather Gonzalez Reginald Ryder LCPS News

Happy National School Librarian Day to my fellow school librarians! This week we’ve been celebrating what we love about our library at Guilford Elementary School - here are some of my favorites! #SchoolLibrarianAppreciationDay #schoollibrarian

It’s been an awesome book filled week at the Guilford Elementary School book fair! And to make the week even better, every student was able to purchase a book because we received so many generously donations. Heart so full! #elementarylibrarian #bookfair
