We’ve been soaking up @bcplinfo and @hcplonline summer reading adventures, have you? Amazing resources and this retired teacher librarian grandmother approves!

Inspiring, heartbreaking, challenging, rewarding. If you have not read Lily's Promise, this retired library media specialist is urging you to take time for it. Thank you @DovForman and kudos to @bcplinfo for making print and digital copies available.

A year ago, a student would stop in to say, "Hello," and I would try to find a way to connect them to a new book. Today, a 5th grader unexpectedly came to my Google Meet at lunchtime. I suggested a quick visit to our @FollettLearning Destiny catalog. COVID19 can't stop #bcpslms
