Batch baking some shrinky dink dots on a rainy afternoon. They are turning out so cute! 🥰

A little note goes a long way. My principal at the building I share left this for my colleague and I.

This year’s 5th graders are learning more about Louis Braille’s system of dots for #DotDay!

2nd grade made buddy dots for #DotDay ! We colored a dot, cut half to keep, then gathered two quarters from classmates’ dots to make a whole new creation.

A 5th grader on a scavenger hunt of books by call numbers referred to graphic novels as “the holy grail of the library.” Circ stats confirm this. 🤣

I had a terrific time yesterday at the Bath Book Bash in Maine. The weather was beautiful and the young readers were full of passion for nonfiction.

ALWAYS grateful for the sharing of @wendygarland.bsky.social ! Thanks to her our 4th grade Ss were thrilled with our new dot punches and made some very creative #DotDay bookmarks.

Fellow high school librarians! Do you have a good policy on library use that both accommodates non-reading/academic activities and isn't a "quiet library" old school model? I'm battling a video gaming problem and need new language in our handbook. I don't want to ban gaming, just the shouting parts.

Inspired by @illinimccoy.bsky.social I created a video to explain how Open Library works. They are riveted. The live version of "me" is just not as enticing.
