There's More to the Story. Read the press release: ala.org/news/press-releases/…

ALT As a young immigrant child, I came to this country when I was six years old with no English. I know firsthand that there’s so much more to the story when it comes to libraries, just like there’s more to my story. I am the product of amazing libraries and librarians, who saw me, supported me, and nurtured me. Through books, movies, games, giveaways, and engaging programming, I found the courage to go for my dreams. Kelly Yang, Honorary Chair. National Library Week, April 23-29, 2023. There's more to the Story

Today 5On dissected owl pellets. We are carefully extracting the bones of the owl pellet to identify what it ate. Then we will attempt to recreate the skeleton of the animal the owl ate within their environment. Now that’s hands on science there!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Antonellis for bringing @danandjasondraw Jason Patterson to Ridge School today and helping to support our HSA! ❤️
Excited to be seeing Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile tonight. The students at Willard enjoyed reading the book in Library which was published in 1965. Will the movie honor the book?

Just finished reading Mr. Lemoncello’s Very First Game @CGrabenstein. It has been a few years since I read the series and this one does not disappoint. So fun—my students will love it!
@KMcMahoney just finished Elfie Unperfect and absolutely loved it! Loved the character development and the social issues discussed in the story. Thanks to @dsantat for such an inviting cover! My first book of summer break and it was a winner!

I continue to be in awe of public school librarians and will continue to speak up to defend their roles and students' access to content. It is so important to have knowledgeable professionals in all rooms of our schools.
