Inspiring, heartbreaking, challenging, rewarding. If you have not read Lily's Promise, this retired library media specialist is urging you to take time for it. Thank you @DovForman and kudos to @bcplinfo for making print and digital copies available.

Taking another look at our amazing @BaltCoPS digital content to explore biographies. Wait...my favorite sports hero and pop stars are here! No pop ups! No ads! Just the information they want. #bcpslms @MartinBlvdES @BCPSLMP

A year ago, a student would stop in to say, "Hello," and I would try to find a way to connect them to a new book. Today, a 5th grader unexpectedly came to my Google Meet at lunchtime. I suggested a quick visit to our @FollettLearning Destiny catalog. COVID19 can't stop #bcpslms

Our @MartinBlvdES students are voting to select some of the new books we will be adding to our collection. There already appear to be some clear favorites! #bcpslms

Listening to my student responses to a cause and effect question. "What is one thing you could do that would cause Mrs. Pavelka to smile." Almost everyone answers the same way. "I could read a book." These kids get me! #bcpslms
