Librarian at Terrace Elementary in @SBISD, teacher, technology integrator, insatiable reader, but mostly a mother to a beautiful, precocious daughter.

@CenterPoint We just got a message that our outage has been resolved and that we have power. Problem is, we don’t. Across the street does, but our side does not. Who is checking that power is actually restored before sending these updates? How many resolved cases are really false positives?

Our next library commercial is going to be FUN! Check out some of the clips we have so far. The library ambassadors and managers have created the idea, written the script, made the props, and are performing all the parts!

Final video coming soon!

@MrSchuReads @jenniferlagarde @AuthorLisaFipps @Jarrett_Lerner @j_xmas @henakhanbooks @SaadiaFaruqi @creativelychrys These are amazing! I’m inspired to make some for the readers at my school! Love, love, love!

I was given this binder filled w/messages from students & teachers. It’s something that I will cherish always. I've felt adrift after my district decided to cut all librarians.
It has been hard for the past few months...but today was a great day.

Our library managers and ambassadors help build our monthly estimation jars! They decide which items would make a great jar that month and build them so that our Timberwolves can start guessing!

As a school librarian, I read tons of children's books each year, but over the past year I've challenged myself to read more adult books too. I share the books I've read each month with teachers by posting them where I have a captive audience! 😜

My librarian ambassadors use every space to inspire reading! One of their favorite locations to sneak in some learning are the bathrooms!!

One of the most popular library clubs is Robotics. Soon we will be adding indoor drones and new robots to our fleet! Stay tuned to see all the fun and learning that's to come!

Dynamic shelving is a great way to get students to check out your entire library space!

Don't be afraid to make changes! Students will appreciate it and find the library more engaging. Plus, you'll help them find books that interest them!

Broadcast is a great way to give students leadership opportunities and to offer some real-life, real-time problem solving!

I could not live without these amazing library managers! They shelve the everybody, non-fiction, and graphic novel sections for me each week! Thanks to their skills and our dynamic shelving, they get it done in record time! Love these Timberwolves!

This crew of amazing Timberwolves are so excited to be at TweensReads (thanks to our awesome PTA)! We can’t wait to learn from these 24 rockstar authors and illustrators. Day starts off with a keynote from the amazing Dan Santat! #tweensread23 @SBISDLibraries

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

Felt incredibly honored to present at #SettingtheTrend23 with @ktlewis14! Thank you to everyone who attended our session! We’d love to stay in touch and continue to learn together!

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

It has been a pleasure to work with our Timberwolves on this project! They saw a problem and have found ways to solve it. These Timberwolves (and others not shown here) are exemplifying what it means to be part of the @TerraceElem PACK! I couldn’t be more proud! @SBISD

Late to posting, but last week's PGP Showcase was wonderful! Loved seeing the finished product of probably my favorite EVER PTA project when we had the absolute pleasure of granting a funding request from some of our youngest students for their Community Impact Project.

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

The pleasure was all ours! All I heard about today was the visit (and “when will we get our books!?!”). You made such a lasting impression on our students and I just can’t thank you enough! (Also…all books were delivered to cheers of ecstatic children.)

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

I’m so proud of our @TerraceElem kiddos for all the time & love they put into our author visit w/ @soontornvat! They know a rockstar when they see one, & they knew going in just how special it was to have her at our school! What a visit!@BlueWillowBooks @SBISD @SBISDLibraries

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

Best part of the week…meeting the amazing @soontornvat of course! We could not have asked for a better visit! We learned all about her life, her inspiration, and her newest book! Thank you @BlueWillowBooks & @WallisBank for this visit & providing our kids access to books! @SBISD

[Teresa Dolan @dolanreads]

Our @TerraceElem library garden is growing! Soon this garden will be an outdoor classroom for classes to come & use during the school day! Our pollinators, veggies, herbs, insect homes, and more will be sure to bring some interactive learning to our garden! @SBISDLibraries @SBISD
