Fantastic evening watching “The Librarians” with NJLA & NJASL librarians.
I spent almost all day traveling to New Jersey yesterday. After speaking this morning, I’ll have spent most of today in a plane to get home. But let me tell y’all….I love NJ librarians! I got to see friends even if it was just for a few minutes. Thank you to NJASL and NJLA for inviting me to speak.

More reason why all young people deserve access to #SchoolLibraries and #Librarians.
We can teach them to be critical thinkers rather than mere consumers of media, giving them skills to safely navigate the choppy waters of dis-, mis- and malinformation.
