Quality time with the tween means an exciting new book for my Key readers! We loved hearing from Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro

This is screaming to be worn with a plaid mini and knee socks a la Cher Horowitz

This part… libraries are fundamentally anti-capitalist

New giant coloring sheet in the library is a hit

Thank you @alexandradiazauthor.com for visiting Key MS today! Our Ss loved hearing about your books, writing process, and inspiration

Hmmm that sounds like it would make an interesting base for chaat instead of papdi

I haven’t tried these! Are they chaat masala flavored? Garam masala?

wtf. Go reread the first amendment.

I very briefly visited a HS today and ran into a former student.

S: Ms. Blair!!! Wait, if you’re here, does that mean there’s no library at Key anymore?

Me: 💀💀💀

Apparently without me there is no library 🤣

The consequences of our actions. The me that bought the tickets was younger and more naive.

Same

Middle school starts way too early to go to a concert on a school night 😭

Hozier with my boo ❤️

My AVID Ss will be creating our Freedom to Read display. I’m certain it’s going to be awesome… but not as good as this 👇🏽

I can’t wait to see what kind of dumpster fire (fyre?) emerges. I bet it comes with viruses and corrupted files

Our degree(s), Master’s degree, certification & years of service in classrooms & libraries might be a start. #schoollibrarians #library #tiktok #books #tlsky #skybrarian #skybrarians #librarianlife #librarians #schoollibrarian #librarian #supportlibrarians
