Today is National Library Worker’s Day! Library paras do the day-to-day work that allows librarians to teach and collaborate—the foundation of our program. We appreciate them EVERY day, the time and dedication they give to our program and their schools! Thank you library paras!
It's #NationalLibraryWorkersDay!!! We are so lucky to have Mrs. Ball in the library. She works so hard to serve our students and staff. Stop by today to say thank you!!

Seeing our kids light up talking about reading to their parents or their little siblings is one of my favorite things about our middle school library! Family book clubs FTW!
The pandemic has provided for lots of family time and I've already heard from lots of students who were reading books with younger siblings. I'll some of their favorites below, but I'd like so more ideas!
What's your favorite chapter book to share with all the whole family?

Absolutely! You can apply to be a reviewer on @netgalley and get free preview ebooks and now audiobooks. I love it-you get to read the books early and help the author by promoting the book. Win win!

Here’s how to solve a Crack the Code using Jamboard features. If you’re interested I’ll share the original Jamboard here. It’s a fun and interactive Jam that will keep students of all ages thinking and wanting more.

Are you a nonreader? Or your kids? Love these tips from KQED about reducing reading trauma (and also the role of librarians!).
