Way to go MCPS Librarians!

School libraries are hubs of innovation, and school library staff have been instrumental in connecting students & teachers this year. This #SchoolLibraryMonth and every day, we recognize that school libraries & staff are essential for every school. richmond.com/opinion/letter…

Super excited that the BCPS librarians had the opportunity to present at our School Board meeting tonight! #VAASLSmallSteps

VAASL Our Director of Equity Compliance accepted my invite to visit our Library AND THEN joined our Project LIT Community Book Club! Thank you, Ms Stacie Wright for being a supporter of our School Libraries!

When students return in the fall, many will not have read a book in over a year. They should be welcomed back into classrooms stocked with interesting books. They do not need to start the year reading Hamlet; instead, begin with independent reading (choice!) and then book clubs.

Check out the #VAASLSmallSteps summer challenge based on the five roles of a school librarian!
