I'm a certified high school Librarian, also degreed in PR and communications. At home, I'm a boy mama. All here is my personal opinion.

Here is why reading and libraries are so, so important, right here at home. 📚 Only 39% of Knox County 3rd graders read on grade level. For low income 3rd graders, only 11% read on grade level. Go home and read to your kid tonight. Take them to the public library.

“Every measure that looks at reading and its effects on student performance on standardized tests of reading ability—and science and math—tells us that the major predictor of academic success is the amount of time that a student spends reading. (Atwell, 2007).

Ways that educators become “book wardens” who restrict reading and undermine reading ownership and choice. @AnnieTWard #readingsummit

Just read a book blurb "monsters born out of human violence that subsist on human souls" and said to @amyidavis, "Have you ever heard anything more YA in your LIFE?!" Bonus points if you can name the book....
