@bookishliterati @AISLEd_org So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

[Caitlin @saxetniniltiac]

As a teacher I think other teachers should know that if you’re voting for the party that wants to destroy public education, deny free lunch to kids that need it, and force literal children to give birth, you should get a different job. You’re not qualified.

@SketchesbyBoze Love this thread. Mine would be Germinal by Emile Zola. Heartbreaking, eye-opening, and a masterpiece I would highly recommend.

@librarycapybara They’re gorgeous! We just made a display of black and white covers and I may borrow this idea for that. 😁

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

@Sarah_Nicolas @abmack33 Do you research or just look for ones you recognize offhand?

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

@DougSchlesser I almost can’t watch because they keep unmuting him when he wants to interject. It’s so frustrating.

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

@kelseybogan I convert every record I come across in my catalog because it gives me a more accurate titlewise report to have both copyright and publication year in the records

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

@kelseybogan I know this one! It’s a record that has been converted to RDA format. Those also have the copyright field instead of just the date. Your destiny admin might have to turn it on, but you can convert all your non_RDA records with a button

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

When your hvac works by pulling in outside air and it’s 77% humidity in your library and every paperback is curling up from moisture 😫😭 Guess we can only display hardcover books?

[Gail Meyer @ReadingMeyer]

Librarians are vital to student success. Study after study has proven that. I’m happy to share if someone over at CPS wants hard facts and numbers. @AISLEd_org @ILSecOfState

[Chicago Teachers Union @CTULocal1]

Yes, let that sink in. EIGHTY percent. Our students deserve so much more. Read our president, Stacy Davis Gates’ full op-ed on why CPS students need a stronger CEO to advocate for them. https://t.co/pfo4hRswC8

[U.S. Department of Education @usedgov]

School librarians are community builders, innovators, collaborators, and so much more - including one of the best resources a student can have as they navigate the new school year: https://t.co/bHBo825QAL #BackToSchool
