It's been busy at the MLK Elementary School Library! We've had a great year and look forward to being even better next year! T🍏S Board of Ed TCSLibrarySquad #ALLibraries

So proud of my reading superstars Westlawn Middle School !!

Check out some of the 2023-2024 highlights from the WMS Library! I knew I was tired, and now I see why 🙃🤣 It's been great, time to plan for next year!! Westlawn Middle School T🍏S Board of Ed TCSLibrarySquad

Did you know that by the time a struggling reader reaches middle school, the loss of reading skills over the summer can lead to a two-year lag in reading achievement? Luckily, our Summer Reading Challenge is designed to keep reading skills sharp while having tons of fun!

Come and check out the new TCS literacy bus tomorrow from 6-9pm at Government Plaza. Children who visit the bus will have the opportunity to choose one FREE book to add to their home library, while supplies last. #IAL #accesstobooks #communitypartnerships

Wow! The TCS Literacy bus is truly amazing!! #AmazingtotheCORE

This is truly AMAZING! Proud to work for a system that supports student reading so wonderfully!

Did you catch the T🍏S Board of Ed Literacy Bus debut at Live at the Plaza last week? 🚌 📚 The Literacy Bus was created to foster a love of reading. It will have books that children can keep and books that can be checked out, as well as programming to encourage reading. So cool!

Some great tips to share with our colleagues TCSLibrarySquad

We are grateful to have been given the opportunity to present at SREB this year! Our session, titled “Shine a B.E.A.M on Literacy at Home,” provided participants with a framework and strategies to help families engage their children in real-alouds at home. #IAL

Kelsey Bogan (DontYouShushMe.Com) I am SO EXCITED for students to see my bins summer project!! I anticipate better circulation, easier browsing and faster shelving 😁

🚨Special delivery!!🚨We are so excited about stocking the shelves of our literacy bus with this beautiful picture book written by one of our very own local authors, Kiera S. Ezell . We can’t wait to share this wonderful story with the young readers in our community. #IAL

Dogs make reading even more fun!! Thanks so much to Hand in Paw for visiting our English class yesterday, and to our wonderful librarians Shelley Dorrill & Hillary Russell for making this happen! Paul W. Bryant High School T🍏S Board of Ed #OneStampede

Welcome to my 18th year in the Paul W. Bryant High School library! We are here to help and help your student grow academically, emotionally, & relationally, because reading books & learning does all those things! #KnowYourSchoolLibrary

When you get a HUGE library remodel with all new furniture and then you find kids reading in the library like this, it is STILL a WIN! #CatchAKidReading @ezigbo_ Tuscaloosa Reads Paul W. Bryant High School

The library set a record. 948 books chosen & checked out by our Paul W. Bryant High School students in August! It’s a GREAT start to the school year! Thank you to our ELA & Social Studies teachers for collaborating with the library! @ezigbo_ Eric F. Hines

I'm so proud of the work of my fellow librarians in Alabama. We did the work, and it was accepted by our Board of Ed. #ALLibraries
