Sarah Everett, you are a genius.
This one will stay with me for years to come. ❤️

I read a lot and it is hard to answer when someone asks what is the best book you have ever read. After reading this gem for the second time, I can confidently say it’s The Great Alone!

A bill that explicitly prohibits Illinois libraries from banning books is speeding its way toward passage by the General Assembly, and the Illinois Secretary of State said he wants “every librarian in the country to know we have their backs.” https://t.co/kSLQbk0qvC

Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops.

Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement.

Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.

To my educator peeps... you don’t have to be an administrator, grade level chair, or department head to be a leader in you school. Your title doesn’t matter. You just need to care about making it better.

Passion and commitment can transform any culture.

Everyone needs this. Beautifully done. #powerofwords
