#NJASLSpring21 So true School Librarians United

I've found my new podcast this morning at #NJASLSpring21 conference! I am really excited to check out Amy Hermon's podcast School Librarians United. School Librarians United

During storytime it's important to engage kids and not just read TO them. I usually ask questions as I read, but the #NJASLSpring21 session on the Whole Book Approach made me think about asking kids about book design, shape, size, color choice etc. great tips from Kelly Carey

I am proud to work in a profession where my colleagues inspire me. We are tireless and passionate about what we do, and we have a great community. We share ideas, support each other, and cheer each other on. The #NJASLSpring21 conference has me reflecting (rethinking!)
