#AASL25 was a blast! It always renews me as a librarian. Seeing national friends, going to fabulous sessions, and having amazing keynotes really raises the PD bar for me. Oh, and @mamagilbs.bsky.social and I presented two well-received sessions, too! Feeling like a rockstar heading home. πŸ₯°

#AASL25 was over too fast! So many new ideas and great connections with the library community from all over the country. Do I really have to go back to the real world? 😫

Quote from Dr. Brad Johnson: "Love what you teach, but love who you teach more."

This pretty much sums up my philosophy of education, especially on this first-day eve.

I was chosen as a KQ blogger this year! I've been wanting to for a long time, and I'm excited to be doing it alongside @rgrov1013.bsky.social. I can't wait to see what we each put out into the world.

Here is my debut blog. Enjoy reading about becoming a learner again! 😁 #TLSky #Skybrarians

I get it. Libraries are expensive, and librarians are expensive. Our students & future leaders need all of the information literacy, media literacy, and opportunities to read deeply and widely they can get. Curriculum won't save us, testing won't, & AI sure as Hell won't. Fund libraries. #TLSkyChat
