What are the @LASchools teacher-librarians reading?

As a teacher-librarian, I teach visiting classes regularly so I rarely know student names. But with @PearDeck I can see who’s engaged and call on the students by name to get their rears in gear ;)

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

The thunder can't steal steal my thunder today! Visiting classes, vision impairment teacher and a student in the corner, ITD using a table for a mobile office, inventory in the back room. Cozy, busy day in the #VerdantMicrocosm of the Poly Library #everythinghappensinthelibrary

The start of my Monday:
Student rushes over to me, urgently: "Has anyone checked out Ready Player One?" I was glad to tell him it was waiting on the shelf! #TLsofLAUSD #everythinghappensinthelibrary

@LibrarianCheby @VerdugoHillsHS @LASchools Amazing!

“How would the world change if kids read books they enjoyed in high school? Do you think they wouldn’t get into college? No! They would become adults who read for enjoyment and learning.” @halseanderson

Also, it's loud in here! Literally and figuratively! #whenweallvote

Yo! Nothing like chaperoning the #GirlsBuild summit with awesome #APCapstone young women! #TLsofLAUSD #everythinghappensinthelibrary (and sometimes we get to leave the library!)

[Corey Abrams @cjabrams]

YES! Great infographic from @CapstonePub! School Librarians are so powerful. #FutureReadyLibs #PSLA

I'm still working on on how to best collaborate with the 12th grade teachers. That's my main goal this year!

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

Hey, @AustinLASchools and @LASchools, my library is out of seats today at lunch, and I'm booked solid for the next 2 weeks for 9th grade research. Fully staffed #schoollibraries are the best way to support our students. #TLsofLAUSD #everythinghappensinthelibrary

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

This is the first of two times I will teach every 9th grader at my school. I'll also see every 10th grader twice & and every 11th grader at least once.

Hey hey #calibchat is going slow chat this month, starting Monday, Sept. 24. Read about it here: https://t.co/0JPbF8zgLr … join in & invite friends! Questions will drop M-Th at 12:00pmPT / 2:00pmCT #mwlibchat #tlchat #istelib

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

My thoughts exactly!

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

I realized later that I've totally taken for granted my JLG subscription the last few years. I hope my admin will renew this year because it's the easiest way to keep my fiction fresh!

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

Book repair day! Gotta make 'em last, since all the money I get is from library fines. #TLsofLAUSD #everythinghappensinthelibrary

[LL Blackwell @Liibrarian]

@LibrarianCheby Oof, yes! I always feel so not-confident.
