Just filled out my March Mammal Madness bracket. Hoping to defend my title as two time third place champion among HIJH staff. 🏆 Such a fun way to think about science and to debate or research. Love that the 7th grade science department does this.

It’s been such a blast to do stations related to Varian Johnson and his books as we finish preparations for his visit next week! Students have been doing some amazing collaborating and showing a lot of creativity. #HIJHreads #authorvisit #middleschool #librarylife

To all the book wizards in schools everywhere 🧙📚 Happy School Librarian Day!

Author connections are a great way to encourage reading. Sometimes local book stores &public libraries also provide opportunities to connect with authors. Author connections are also great encouragement for writing &hearing about the author’s process. #schoollibrarymonth #tlchat

School Library Month started on Tuesday! It’s the 40th Anniversary/Birthday for School Library Month! We also always kick off our annual Bookmark Design Contest & Spring into Reading BINGO challenge right before towards the end of March. #schoollibrarymonth #tlchat

We may be on Spring Break this week, but so far this year HIJH library has circulated 17,842 books since August! Keep reading, Panthers! #HIJHreads #schoollibrarymonth #asslslm

We place a lot of holds for students to get them next in line for a book. We also place interlibrary loan requests from other HSE schools as needed for our staff members. #aaslslm #schoollibrarymonth #HIJHreads

The AASL quoted Mrs. Boudreau, today!

This school year we had 64 students participate in the Young Hoosier Book Award program and read 365 books inmates for this state award. #HIJHreads #schoollibraries #schoollibrarymonth #aaslslm

It’s that time of year! It’s been a busy week of preparing for and running things. Here’s a few snapshots from Tuesday. Talked to 5th grade teachers about some uses of graphic novels &audio books. Demonstrated debate &persuasion databases to 6th graders. #schoollibrary #HIJHreads

HIJH’s librarian has led over 170 lessons, activities, and events this year! It’s hard to keep track of everything we do in the library, but we know it’s been more than that! #aaslslm #schoollibrarymonth #schoollibrarian
