Libraries are citadels of knowledge and empathy—and they’ve played an extraordinarily important role in my life. I spoke with @SmithsonianSec Bunch about our shared love of books, A Promised Land, and the role storytelling plays in shaping our history.
Kids who don't read over the summer can lose up to three months of reading progress! This is why it is very important to find fun and interesting ways to get kids reading over the summer months. Here are a couple ideas! #SummerReading#TLChat#TxLChat

More awesome bookends left by 8th graders years past. They add just the right touch to our bookshelves! This coming school year we'll be bringing back the bookend painting party! @HISDLibraryServ @TeamHISD @HISD_Literacy#art#librarylife#read#books
A huge thank you to St. John's School for the bookend donation! We can't wait to turn this...into this! Our bookend painting parties have added such beautiful color to our library & our 8th graders get to leave a "legacy"! @HISDLibraryServ @HISD_Literacy
