Thank you, @ClarionBooks for sharing this ARC. One of my favorite reads of the summer, and to be added to @CBGaymanES @CBLibraries shelves ASAP. This is a SO MUCH MORE than a ghost story. Mystery, friendship, family, adventure, heart—all in one book!

The power of an author visit: following Aron Steinke’s author visit this spring, his books were checked out of @CBGaymanES @CBLibraties 119 times by students! WOW!

Valentine-to-a-book #3 @CBLibraries @CBGaymanES A Wrinkle in Time (Graphic Novel). Graphic Novels can introduce grown-ups to new books, too! I could never quite convince myself to read Madeleine L’Engle’s original. Then I discovered the graphic novel. Thank you @hopelarson!

Valentine to a Book #2: Fuzzy Mud. I had THE BEST book club discussions about this book when we had to meet for @CBGaymanES @CBLibraries book club remotely. The kids drew so many parallels between this book (written before Covid) and their pandemic experiences.

After much brainstorming, conversation, and excitement—the @CBGaymanES Reading Ravens’ Reading Olympics t-shirt design has begun to take shape. Reading Olympics isn’t just about the books. It’s about building a team, compromise, and creativity! @CBLibraries

Today, I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to lunch with my 5th grade Reading Olympics Book Club @CBGaymanES @CBLibraries. I get to see you think in a different setting. WE get to fall in love with @kimbbbradley's The War that Saved My Life. #BucksReadingOlympics

We are reading Paletero Man (@LuckyDiaz) @CBGaymanES & @CBBridgeValley. We love the rhythm of this text and its English/Spanish blend. Favorite moment: the glow on a student's face as he connected the story to trips to visit family in Honduras and Puerto Rico! (#CBLibraries)

1st grade students @CBGaymanES @CBLibraries are learning about library organization and developing library skills as the “store” acorns by its alphabet maker on the shelf and browse a shelf by driving a car on the shelf that begins with the same letter as their last name!

My 3rd Grade @CBLibraries students @CBBridgeValleyES are going back to basics creating posters by hand to share their database research. They are loving this chance to create and are learning layout skills and “ computer terms like text boxes” that they will use in the future.

Our “Big Buddies” @CBGaymanES are sharing some book love with their “Little Buddies” by choosing books/writing notes to them. The excitement from the little buddies as they receive their books is a joy to see @CBLibraries.

Looking back on the past few months: one of my favorite AHA! Moments this year @CBlibraries @CBGaymanES: Watching my 3rd graders take their catalog search results with them on their 1-to-1 devices as they browse for books! So many new book discoveries are being made!
