School librarian, reader, maker, mom, and student. I love learning and growing with my students and peers.

Sixty years ago today, the Greensboro Four stood up to injustice by sitting down at a lunch counter. Our journey is full of such stories; of acts of patriotic protest that challenge this country we love to live up to our highest ideals, however long it takes. #BlackHistoryMonth

One day I’ll tell the story of when Kobe called me on my cell. He wanted me to know Gianna loved “Ghost.” Man.

I'll say it again. A lost book=found a new home. *I would rather lose a book than a reader.* As librarians, we have to switch to an abundance paradigm + remove barriers to access, literacy. No fines, no check-out limits, no sorting. #LibFive #TrueBookFAIR #AASL19 #aasl2019
