First day of school was a success!! It’s bedtime already, right??! 💤 I’m loving my new wireless mouse and keyboard so there are two less cords at the circulation desk. 🙌🏻 #teacherlibrarian #elementarylibrarian #backtoschool #librarytools #libraryorganization

📚 I’ve been reading “The Book Hog” by Greg Pizzoli to my first graders. Cute book with a wonderful message. #teacherlibrarian #weneedlibrarians #picturebooksaremyjam #homesweetlibrary #wpsproud usd259libraries

First PD of the year is in the books. A rare case of 14 classes in 7 time slots was exhausting, but the kids did great. Some got to do a directed drawing after learning about our therapy dog in training! 🐾📚❤️ #teacherlibrarian #therapydog #librarydog #read #wpsproud

📚 Oh. My. Book. Delivery. 😍 There’s just something so incredible about unpacking brand new library books. I can’t wait to get them into kids’ hands and start reading them myself!! 🙌🏻 #permabound #teacherlibrarian #kidslitismyjam #homesweetlibrary #wpsproud usd259libraries
