I certified!!! Last year was absolutely insane. I put everything else in my life on hold, but the hard work paid off. Thanks to all who put up with me being a hermit, to my colleagues/cohort for support & feedback. I’m a #NBCT!!! #librarymedia

@CaptainLibrary @sylvie_shaffer Such a great presentation! I was inspired to share ideas from the session with my district’s librarians. Thank you!!

I got to hang with two of my school library heroes today during @Mrs_Bongi and @msfordfierce’s session on AI at #AASL23. Not ashamed to say I was totally fan-girling @kelseybogan and @STetreaultDC!!

I've just learned that all secondary #librarians in @evergreenps (here in WA) were notified at 1:00pm today that their positions were being cut & media "aids" would be running the libraries moving fwd. Here's how to contact EPS to let them know this move will harm students. ⬇️

@LMS_United @ala I'm inferring this survey was not written with school librarians in mind--multiple questions provide evidence for that inference. Understanding that ALA encompasses all librarian subgroups, I would like to see language that reflects our worldview.

@kelseybogan I’m going through this exact experience!! An exercise in confusion for sure. Did you find vendors that you liked?

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

@hulkbrarian It’s a wonderful picture book!

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

@hulkbrarian Not sure what lever you’re looking for, but I love the book I Speak Like a River!

@DrTLovesBooks This was a great session!!

@teachinaTARDIS We use 741.5 for GN fiction and 741.51 (with three letters of series title) for manga.

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

@teachinaTARDIS That’s what I do! I made that choice because when students come to me asking for graphic novels, what they typically want are the stories. The GN non-fiction is stored with the content area so that when someone wants to learn about a particular topic, GNs are there as a choice.

@erinentrada Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. This book is still making me think, weeks and weeks after finishing. It’s both beautiful and informative.

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

So excited for amazing learning this weekend! #bosslibrarianpd

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

Start my #nbct journey this morning with Jump Start!

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

So much going on in this lovely book from ⁦@RJPalacio⁩! Part historical fiction, part mystery, part ghost story, & completely wonderful! So different from the Wonder world, but the same sense of poignancy and depth.

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

I need some help #librarytwitter! I have a @DonorsChoose grant that’s getting a little stale. What do you do to get your grants funded after the initial round of donations immediately after posting?? #SchoolLibrarian #librarylife

@WLA_School Celebrating my top patrons with certificates and free books, and sharing end of year stats with the community.

Today I was awarded my second substantial grant ($2300!!) of 21-22. This one for coding/robotics resources. Credit to @abmack33, @LMS_United for getting me started. Big thanks to @SchLibAdvocate & Christie Kaaland. Their AASL webinar improved my grant writing skills dramatically!

[Emily Jensen (she/her) @msjensenlib]

This book. Family and sport and relationships and love of words. Gorgeous! Thanks ⁦@kwamealexander⁩.
