the Library @ Shawnee Mission East

It’s going to be a great day! LitUp Fest @MCPLMO Can’t wait to hear from @RutaSepetys @MindyMcGinnis @hollyblack and more authors! I’m in my element!

A note for those feeling lonely 💌 You are not alone. There are people who care and want to support you in whatever you're going through. Reach out to a friend, a family member or even a professional if you need someone to talk to. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

We came across this bookstore on our nightly stroll in Bordeaux, France.

When a Librarian is in Paris she has to stop at the bookstore. And she has to take a picture of a popular YA book in French.

@AnneStowers19 I wish I had an empty cart. Never happens here at East! 😊

This empty cart is the best part of my day so far! Shout out to library cadets Kat, Kira, and Lauren for doing my job for me! ❤️ 📚

@coachroach19 What’s your prediction?

"Librarians strive to ensure that every child finds themselves represented on their shelves. The choice to engage with that story remains a personal family decision. But discarding someone else’s story is not the answer." Chris Harris #UniteAgainstBookBans thehill.com/opinion/436776…

Favorite books made into cookies for the best ELA department! Happy Holidays! @SMEastLancers

@booksandbronte This makes me so sad! Such a beautiful tree and a beautiful town.

@InstTechIn512 We LOVE @KelsiHorner at East!

I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate the ladies in these pictures. True leaders helping our new teachers with Classlink today. It was AMAZING! #OneShawneeMission #TimeToShine

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”
