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!"

    1. You may want to keep that toolbox handy! I've got a vision for the Winskill Library that may require some hard work and if you are willing to help...

    1. Margaret, I know that sometimes it takes me awhile to jump on board! Thanks for being supportive and modeling how it is done! Look at the movement you have started in the short time you have been at Winskill. And to think we haven't actually started school yet!
