Storyteller Saturday at @ClaxtonElemGSO was amazing! @dlwstoryteller closed out the day and was phenomenal as always. What a great way to start Read Across America Week. #GCSLibrariesEngage the whole community with events that celebrate the fun of reading!

PSA: if you’re gifting someone a board game…

- Open it, punch all the tokens, make sure the components are there
- Sleeve cards and laminate player aids
- Read through the rules, do a solo play, print out the FAQ and errata
- Give them an Applebee’s gift card and keep the game

@strange_natalie and I got to spend the day with our amazing GCS SLMCs! We started the day with a fun STEM challenge, had lots of rewarding conversations and shared great ideas on how #GCSLibrariesEngage students.

Loved seeing the fun displays outside the @ConeCougars school library today! #GCSLibrariesEngage with bulletin boards and other creative ways to highlight the fun of reading!

Mr. Carranza and Ms. Stevenson have created such a welcoming shared library for @FOUSTGCS and @MurpheyAcademy students. #GCSLibrariesEngage by modeling cooperative, collaborative relationships for students. They both have a lot happening in a small space!

Recently, Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) and Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ-03) introduced the Right to Read Act so every student has access to a fully resourced school library. 1/3

One perk of helping our SLMCs reorganize collections is finding gems that bring back special memories. This was a favorite when my son was a pre-schooler. #GCsLibrariesEngage with stories that celebrate students’ imaginations!

Spent the morning assisting with sorting and reshelving books in the Nat Greene ES Library. Love the results! #GCSLibrariesEngage with dynamically shelved, genrefied collections!

And we had some door prize winners!

It’s been a great #ncslma22!

#GCSLibrariesEngage by embracing surprise and creating community.

Listening to @ColleenPinyan talk about how embracing organized chaos has created a new way to think about high school librarianship post-pandemic.

Starting the day at #ncslma22 early with @jennienc learning about how the Modern Classroom Project supports learning in the school library media center. #GCSLibrariesEngage with self-paced individualized lessons.

@rchlmc @library_nghs It was a great presentation on a topic lots of folks are interested in by two amazing SLMCs!

[Nancy Cravey @NancyCravey]

Learning about how to use Bonn’s Use Factor to be sure #GCSLibrariesEngage with collections that match the needs of our students! Great job Rachel and Annie! #ncslma22

[Nancy Cravey @NancyCravey]

Always love spending time with our SLMCs. Especially when they spend time learning how #GCSLibrariesEngage with @KEVAplanks and STEM challenges!
