ChiSchoolLibrarians

Advocating for a school library and a certified teacher-librarian in EVERY Chicago Public School.

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

CPS and the mayor like to talk about equity and trust, yet on a good day, we only have four school libraries on the West Side.

Four.

[NYC School Librarians' Association @nycsla]

@uft NYCSLA would like to invite Michael Mulgrew to sit down and speak to some of his members about the important work school librarians do. @NYCSchools @NYCDOEOLS @DOEChancellor @nyla_ssl

[NYC School Librarians' Association @nycsla]

NYCSLA is proud of what school librarians do. We will be tweeting to acknowledge all of the hard work that goes into being a school librarian. We are not keepers of the books but the leaders in learning. Please retweet to give school librarians the recognition they deserve.

@Boss_Librarian That’s the plan! Thanks for setting the great example for us!

These losses are magnified during a period of remote instruction w/leadership lost for teachers & students around issues of information discovery & evaluation, technology use, digital citizenship, and understanding of digital divide issues & educational inequality @ChiSLibrarians

School libraries are essential for comprehensive education - here are just a few of the 100 things students miss without a library at school. See the whole list and more school library advocacy resources: https://t.co/lAl4UFHD39 #NLLD2020 @aasl

All Chicago Public Library locations are now CLOSED. Don't forget that https://t.co/oKvbaumYsO has tons of online content to keep you amused and engaged while you shelter in place. Stay tuned for more!

[ChiSchoolLibrarians @ChiSLibrarians]

@chipublib @MsHlousek We love the ecard! What a great and safe way to access resources. Now respect your staff and the public’s safety and CLOSE YOUR DOORS. @chicagosmayor

[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

School librarians are a necessity, not a luxury. We stand with school librarians in DC fighting for the support they need to serve their students, because schools need librarians, full stop. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians https://t.co/RggaAMcwf2

[Jerry Craft @JerryCraft]

I wasn’t a reader as a kid in part because my local library was ALWAYS closed. No school librarians either. Every DCPS student deserves a well stocked school library and a full time certified school librarian. #DCPSNeedsLibrarians #DCPSSchoolLibraries #tlchat #DCPSProgressPride

[Scott Walter (also on Bluesky, same handle) @slwalter123]

Chicago & Philadelphia have one thing in common: savage inequality in access to public school libraries & loss of opportunity for critical student learning across an array of print & digital literacy skills @ChiSLibrarians @ILRaiseYourHand @PhillyInquirer https://t.co/Fs2oLhUGa1

[Mr. Polimeni @MrPolimeni]

Librarians are not an expense...they are an INVESTMENT and directly tied to student achievement. https://t.co/HNlbNuqnUV

I have the #bestjob Just previewed potential nominees for our state's award list. Time to return to @chipublib #monarchawards @ Conrad Sulzer Regional Library https://t.co/OLsoiLlEuZ

[Lies Garner @lvagarner]

The CTU contract vote may be over, but the fight continues to connect CPS students with the best education, including librarians. #cpsneedslibrarians @CPSuccessCHI https://t.co/PWB4RSEIZA

[Scott Walter (also on Bluesky, same handle) @slwalter123]

A reality that we need our national associations to more clearly recognize & help us to fight against: “More often than not, once a librarian is removed, so is a library.” #SaveSchoolLibrarians #CPSNeedsLibrarians @CTULocal1 @ChiSLibrarians #AASL19 https://t.co/BkVrHkCSjR
