@HPMS_Official I love seeing this each year. She is amazing! Thanks for posting.

Happy Nowruz! Thank you to Ms. Mardani who set up this wonderful display in our library!

@AvdellasL @HPMS_Official Really nice job! 👍

Our Advisory students worked hard on decorating our door @HPMS_Official

@LousyLibrarian 💗 Happy Valentine’s Day! Your posts brighten my days, for sure!

Popularize the practice of giving your library workers a happy Valentine's Day by offering them exactly zero tokens of personal affection.

@sharonmdraper I am moving from a middle school to an elementary library, and am loving finding new books for elementary readers!

Bella Ballerina is officially out in the world, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! It’s about a timid little ballerina who learns that the show must go on—and will—with a little help from her friends. #BellaBallerina #childrensbooks

@AvdellasL This is awesome!

One more creation…a student showed me how to make an octopus with my many yards of “chain”

First crochet club was so fun! What a creative bunch of Ss! Super impressed with those who had the patience to help us beginners! @HPMS_Official

@AvdellasL @HPMS_Official What a great club idea! I miss those faces. ❤️

Your kindness should always include yourself too Image: instagram.com/adoseofreminde…

@LousyLibrarian A very fine line to walk! lol

Pro-level stuff they never teach you in library school: how to respond to a new patron’s battery of questions by being just helpful enough to fully meet their information need but not quite helpful enough to fall into the trap of becoming their favorite librarian

@erinmpinero @RoarPride @HPMS_Official A terrific club!

Heritage High School @RoarPride Stemists Club @HPMS_Official this AM inspiring young minds!

@EdLeaderSIB You always brought your school spirit game! Wishing you all the best, IB!

This ed leader loves a good spirit day! #LetsGo #BetOnMetz #TogetherWeAreBetter

@sholzberger @HPMS_Official This is great! Really gets the staff thinking about ways you can help them.

@sholzberger @HPMS_Official Wishing you a terrific school year!

@MichelleBeatle9 Love this!

Left pic: EL student (me) meets awesome TA who spoke Spanish and wanted to become an EL teacher. Right pic: 10 years later. We got to work EL Summer school together. He has supported me since day 1! Time flies, but the awesomeness of Mr. Burton remains. Such an honor!

@Jarrett_Lerner Yes! This also applies to Library Assistants & library workers. So much instruction, learning, and wonder happens every day in a library. ❤️

I meet and talk to so many people who believe that ALL school librarians do is check out books and put them back once kids return them. Here is just SOME of what they ACTUALLY do. And not on this list: foster a lifelong love of reading. And what could be more important than that?

@AvdellasL @HPMS_Official It's such a wonderful place and I don't think many know about it. I used to take the girls there many times when they were younger.

Learned about all the cool things the Loudoun Heritage Farm Museum had to offer! Super informative, thoughtful, and intentional @HPMS_Official

While doing a mountain of unpacking in the last 4 days, I've also enjoyed checking out the public libraries in the area, of which there are many! 😀 📚
