Book it to the Library

Conjure this image...books, coffee, a comfy chair...a favorite place to unwind and become reinvigorated with words. Words that teach. Words that inspire.  Words that transcend generations.

Now imagine a room abuzz with people collaborating, connecting globally, utilizing the latest technology to enhance learning! 

Can these two worlds coexist?  Absolutely!  Come check out my new adventure as I embark on a new challenge as the K-12 Library Media Specialist in the Lancaster School District. 

Through this journey I will be connecting with students, teachers, and families. I get to share my passion for books!  I get to challenge myself daily! I get to promote deep thinking! I get to connect students with resources and help them expand on their passions!  I have the job of my dreams! Can you tell that I am excited about the possibilities?  

I plan to use this blog as a resource to share literature, tech activities, links for learning, and activities that we are engaged in in the school library media centers!  I will share my successes and failures. I will promote the amazing work of our students and staff!  

Now get after it and "Book it to the Library!"
