Yes, there were truly over 50,000+ visits to the library. added 1000 new books to the collection. From breakouts to wordsearches and coloring pages to origami & contests, it's been a whirlwind on my own... #librarian #schoollibrarian #stats #books #bookinfluencer

Updated my 1st 9 weeks stats while in between sessions @aaslala.bsky.social conference...what a wild first 9 weeks. Best item I ever purchased was a people counter to help track visits.

A8: My why is to promote the love of reading. By coming into the new school year with a ton of recs, Ss see that it's not just "my job" but my LOVE of books, something I want to pass on to them. My why is to provide Ss with books that they can relate to, that they see themselves in #TLSkyChat

I kind of rambled here, but hopefully you get what I am saying :)

A7: with summer reading, offer them choices, it's all about Student Voice & Choice. They are tired of the usual book report.
By creating the "If You Like" book recs, it helps students branch off from what they already like/know, introducing them to new authors. #TLSkyChat

A6: hmmm, good question. Definitely balance, especially when we start back at school & I have a stack of recs ready to book talk during orientation. If just one student grabs one of the books I booktalk, I consider that a WIN! #TLSkyChat

I love Rex. He's is so amazing. He may come to our Graphic Novel week next year. He's super generous and just so open about his life. I have boys devouring his books. He's been on a few panels I have moderated & I am always awestruck by him #TLSkyChat

A5: EMPATHY! The importance of reading...The dangers of Social Media & teaching them to be careful what they post. It will come back & bite you. There's just so many but these are at the top of my list. #TLSkyChat

A1: The characters, or rather the story line from Nikki Erlick's, The Measure. Makes you really think about opening up that Pandora's Box. As much as I would WANT TO, I am learning to say NO more. No more assistant, so I am going to have to say no a lot in the fall. #TLSkyChat

A3: reading with quiet music in the background. The lofi playlists on Spotify are so calming. I also want to ramp up my audiobook time. Love just crashing on a chair/couch and reading away! #TLSkyChat

I took a chance on this program and it has been a winner! Give the Ss an opportunity and they will run with it. I plan on framing this first mosaic in a poster frame and hang it in the library. Hope to do more of these in the coming school year! Want to know more, let me know! #skybrarian #library

@hebron_hs student creativity has been off the charts as we celebrate #schoollibrarymonth I got this idea from a fellow librarian on Facebook. It's a collaborative mosaic, made with sharpie paint markers and wooden puzzle pieces I purchased on Amazon. It's all about sharing their love of reading.
