Audiobooks are my solution to anything productive. Need to deep clean? Have a long drive? Need to focus on an intricate task? Need to go for a walk? A good audiobook will make all of it so much easier.
Get yourself a Scholastic delivery driver that gives you chocolates - whaattt?? Such a nice surprise! He gave one of the elementary LSSs cookies with a cute box.
Yesterday was such a win.
S1: Miss, I love this library.
S2: Yeah, this library is the best.
& then, waiting for afterschool clubs to start, I spotted 2 kiddos reading their new library books. ❤️📚
Actor Jane Russel getting accidentally knocked into pool by man diving over her, but she continued the scene anyway (1953)

Community note
There is clearly a cut in the middle of the sequence before she resumes singing and is pulled out of the pool. It is misleading to suggest she kept singing. biography.com/actors/jane-ru…
Where do Americans visit libraries the most (and least)? 📚

Whoops, didn't read many physical books this month! Got sucked into a video game instead.

It has officially been 1 year of living in New Mexico! It has been so interesting learning a new state. I've been doing a lot to improve my MS library. I look forward to seeing what this upcoming school year has in store.
Traveling meant I didn't read as much as I thought I would. More mid books than I expected, but the good ones were GOOD. Favs include The Truth Project, Lily Xiao Speaks Out, Flight Risk, & Moon Madness0 2 books away from my A to Z Challenge!
Such a good reading month! Lots of favs to list: Probability of Everything, Blood Years, Keep This to Yourself, Accountable, Raiders, Thin Air, Guncle Abroad
Getting close to finishing my A to Z Challenge! Need to work on my 24 in 24
Ya girl presented at #EdTechBoostNM on @wakelet Lots of internet issues, but I'm hopeful that participants left with new & innovative ways to engage w/their classrooms & community.

Annnddd that's a wrap on Yr 8 & Ye 3 in the library & Yr 1 in NM. Not gonna lie, it was kinda rough. A lot of new to learn, but I'm proud of what I accomplished. Now that I've laid some ground work, I have hopes for a better year next year!
Participated in my first NM Battle of the Books. Now that I have a better understanding of the set-up, I'm hoping to have more kiddos next year & I'll be able to plan more efficiently. These kiddos rocked it!
