Happy School Library Month!😀 📚💻"If the thought of a school librarian stirs up visions of a stern-looking, glasses-wearing, “shusher” sitting behind the desk in the school library...I have to say– this is not what it means to be a school librarian today." Emily L. Horn #SLM

I meet and talk to so many people who believe that ALL school librarians do is check out books and put them back once kids return them. Here is just SOME of what they ACTUALLY do. And not on this list: foster a lifelong love of reading. And what could be more important than that?

School librarians are community builders, innovators, collaborators, and so much more - including one of the best resources a student can have as they navigate the new school year: blog.ed.gov/2023/10/school… #BackToSchool

Tim Walz said it best: Censorship has no place in our libraries. The Hate U Give has been banned in numerous libraries—but that won’t stop me from sharing our truth. Our stories are meant to be heard. We will not be silenced.
