My latest for #KnowledgeQuest is about how school librarians are, basically by default, leaders; so we oughta acknowledge that and do some leading.

Don't take your skills, talents, & abilities for granted - you earned 'em.

My Feb '25 #KnowledgeQuest post for @aaslala.bsky.social is up. In it, I share some ways I've been dealing with this darkest timeline. (SPOILER: It's remembering you've got people on your side; and it's purposely not even pretending to do all the things.)

Any school officials who are making data-driven decisions should have school librarians in their schools. Here are a few of the data-driven, research-based reasons why:

Questions she argued matter more than answers.
Questions reveal curiosity, intellect, and the desire to learn. Answers are endpoints, but questions open doors.

Steve's middle school lost its library in 2019, but some changes around the school have presented an opportunity to bring a library presence back

📕 Read “Kiito, Finland: Notes on what opting in taught me about libraries, learning & myself” by Samantha Hull (KnowledgeQuest vol. 54 no. 5, May/June 2026, p. 15 - 17). Three highlights from Hull’s Fulbright research on how public libraries in Finland support grade schools: Librarians are not waiting to be invited. They are designing grade-specific offerings, proactively contacting schools, and embedding library visits into the rhythm of the school year.
