I’m loving our “Let’s Play!” summer reading theme this year @TheWalkerSchool. Can’t wait to play lots of games and read all the books on my #TBR list!

Feeling inspired and blessed to be amongst so many cool librarians, authors, and book lovers this weekend at #LibLearnX23 in NOLA. @TheWalkerSchool

Look who already completed the #40bookchallenge! Everyone who finishes gets the priceless gift of millions of words, more empathy, a broader, deeper understanding of our world (and a signed banana!) #OneWalker

Today in our not-quiet-at-all library, the fifth graders purchased goodies using “Carter Cash” earned by writing a descriptive paragraph. More complexity = more cash! The biggest payout went to a $70 paragraph…a new Walker record! #onewalker

It was time well spent this morning protecting new books with wipeable covers for Winship Library. I can’t wait to put them into readers’ hands in August!
