@EmilyFlake The cat bit! And the whole bit. My 8 yo was enthralled. Ok, me too.

What a treat to walk across such a beautiful fall foliage adorned campus today to teach research skills to Ms. Neely's 9th grade History. I recently added the ABC-CLIO Ancient and Medieval History database to our collection and it was just perfect for their Ancient Rome papers!

@mfontaine123 Home state don’t fail me now!

I love partnering with Ms Smith to help connect kids to books. Today I visited her classes to show them how easy it is to access Sora ebooks for extra credit reading and the books are already flying off the virtual shelf!

Parents of teens, GO HUG YOUR TEENAGER. I am hearing how much they long for physical contact (usually accomplished by flopping all over their friends). Unsure how this will land? A quick rub on the back or side hug will give you a read. Don't be weird about it. Just do it. 1/3

@NewYorker @PWKidsBookshelf I’ve read her widely since a librarian helped me discover her when I was 8 and now read her work to my own children. She’s an utterly original icon. Hysterical, insightful, magical.

Joan Aiken treated her fanciful premises with deadpan seriousness, creating an atmosphere that’s ironic and enchanted all at once. https://t.co/hcLFG92HeB

@TfullerFuller You should read it! Total page turner

[Megan Dolan @brimmerlibrary]

Do you like history that reads like fiction? Check out what I’m reading now-Agent Sonya: Moscow's Most Daring Wartime Spy by Ben Macintyre. Utterly fascinating international relations history enveloped in a spy story to top all spy stories

Sts in 10th grade are researching topics around their summer reading text of Educated by Tara Westover. Government role in supervision of schooling and care of minors, Mormons and faith healing, Westover's own history and more. Keyword and database training set them on their way

[Megan Dolan @brimmerlibrary]

So cool to visit Mr. Barker-Hook's class today and hear students reflect on how their mini project examining the New York Times from their birth date allowed them to use that snapshot in history to examine and analyze the culture and society at the time. Fountains of insight!

[Megan Dolan @brimmerlibrary]

@PeterMDeWitt @jesslahey @NASSP @NAESP @ASCD Hugely stressful time for admin right now. Good reminder.

Missing camp this summer? Check out Camp Candlewick, a digital and free "camp" for readers in grades 1-12. Great books, reading motivation, cabins and more! https://t.co/xeRWe70MR8

@growingwisdom We took a walk and my kids did the Luddite version of walking and texting. Well, they are children of a librarian after all. It is beautiful out!
