In love with this poster at Oak Ridge Elementary in Harleysville, PA. 💛

1/2 Wow. Our visit from author Varian Johnson was even better than we had hoped! We heard so many things important to the craft of writing from big ideas to concrete advice. We had kids literally taking notes at the author lunch : ) ❤️✍️Round Rock ISD

2/2 In case you think diverse author visits don’t matter, I present these personal experiences. A student who said, “He looks like me!”, and an email from the heart of a fifth grader. 10+ kids stopped me today to tell me about the books they’re writing. Thank you Varian Johnson

😭😭❤️ brb, writing a tiny moments lesson

On Friday we had a new record of 23 5th graders coming to library lunch! They have been amazing - all reading or listening to audiobooks while they eat. We have officially subtracted one whole class of kids from the cafeteria! 😀 #readersgonnaread Round Rock ISD #bestpartoftheday

“No one wants to hear about your special interest—” I do. Tell me all about how the Appalachians are older than Saturn’s Rings or how the invention of the compass led to the atomic bomb. Life is so brief and the world is so big and we have to learn from each other.

After reading Knuffle Bunny, kindergarteners made a laundromat with their own personal stuffies getting washed. We LOVE how our laundromat turned out! 😍🫧 Big thanks to The Pigeon and Erika Botfeld for the inspiration ❤️❤️ RRISD Lib Services Round Rock ISD #wearecaraway

August and September were amazing and we're only getting started! #wearecaraway #carawayreads

people say they would love to recapture the childhood experience of curling up under the blankets with a book and a flashlight but you can do that at any time. you're an adult.

Parents, please check your kids' candy this Halloween! I just found the plums that were in the icebox

The weather outside is frightful, but library lunch is delightful 🥰 Between 4th and 5th grade we’ve been averaging about 60 students DAILY choosing to read quietly while eating lunch in the library. 😍😍 Round Rock ISD #readersgottaread

We had a fantastically relaxing time at our Art and Audiobooks Academy this semester! We listened to The Tiger Rising and half of The Unlucky Lottery Winners of Classroom 13 while we drew and colored. What a way to start our Fridays - we didn’t want it to end! 🎨🎧📖❤️

What does the average person think a school librarian does? What’s the reality? via @lagniappelib #tlchat #futurereadylibs

I have an idea and it is: little free libraries but put them in the airports

every novel should include an appendix with sketches of all the flora and fauna mentioned in the book so that you can flip to the back and go, “oh, that’s a carnelian… that’s what a rhododendron looks like… that’s dogwood and hibiscus”

You love to see it! 🥰
