Happy #NationalBookLoversDay! Today, I am thinking about all the librarians and teachers who put books into kids' hands. Thank you for championing the life-changing power of stories, and for helping kids become readers. You're my heroes.

Absolutely! Certificated Teacher Librarians are one of the best resources on a campus for Ts and Ss! #tlsoflausd @4csla @aasl #libraryaides @WeAreCTA @CaliforniaPTA @LAUSD_Achieve #NationalBookMonth @cablesclasses @lisabishopSF
School librarians are community builders, innovators, collaborators, and so much more - including one of the best resources a student can have as they navigate the school year: blog.ed.gov/2023/10/school-l… #NationalBookMonth

IL Sec of State @Giannoulias powerfully quoted Ray Bradbury at @UIC’s #BannedBooksWeek event: “The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”

Do you have any new/gently used books you're looking to donate? Bring them with you to YALLWEST on the 29th, where you can donate them to the Books 4 Kids Club. They're mostly looking for middle grade and younger, but YA is ok too!

It's been a week since we heard from @caroljago at the #CSLAConference. In her keynote speech she encouraged our community to help students overcome barriers to reading, beginning with getting our students to read for the sake of reading, to read for fun! #4csla #SchoolLibraries

Next year I have a goal of engaging more reluctant readers, focusing on the freshmen class. I have some ideas and one is working this year to create engaging First Page Fridays. Suggestions for good YA books that have engaging first few pages, like this one?
