It's been awhile since I've been on here, but I just wanted to let you all know that I've been selected to give a presentation (virtually) at the TCEA '26 Librarian Conference. Here are the details: tcea.org/event/librarian-con…. Also, my professional username is now CMatternBooks.

One of my favorite things about my calling, serving as librarian, is meeting authors. Thanks for visiting my Dragons, @nielsenwriter.

The 6th grade book club is underway @DeretchinCISD. I’ve been wanting to do a book club all 12 years in my service as a librarian. But now it’s finally coming together. I’m so excited to share the love of reading with these kids on a deeper level. Great things in @CISD_Libraries.
