We prioritize diversity in school libraries because when children see themselves in books, they see themselves as worthy. ezra-jack-keats.org/tell-me-anothe… @JCPS_LMS @JCPSLMSDrLynn #jcpslibraries

We’re hyped this morning with @cicelythegreat! Thank you so much for making us feel valued and jazzed up!! #JCPSLSA2021

Closing out LSA 2021 & my last Institute/Academy in a big way with a trifecta of @jenniferlagarde @cicelythegreat and @jewell_p_rhodes ! The learning joy flowed from one to the next and showered our librarians with new energy and excitement! Thanks to ALL! #JCPSLSA2021 @JCPS_LMS

"If you are afraid to have LBGTQ books in your library, imagine how that child feels in your school." Students need representation in the books they read! @cicelythegreat #READWOKE #JCPSLSA2021 #JCPSLibraries

I don’t speak at many #library conferences that are opened by the superintendent who uses their time to recognize that championing kids means also championing librarians! Thank you @JCPSSuper for supporting and honoring #jcpsLSA2021 #jcpslibrarieslibrarians this morning!

Congratulations to the recipient of JCASL's inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award, Janet Lanham. @lmsjanlan Here are just a few of the wonderful things shared by her colleagues about this incredible woman... Beginning of Twitter thread. 1/20

Best part of my day was reading aloud to Goldsmith 2nd graders. Best part of read-aloud was one st saying "That girl looks like me! I could be that girl! It made me feel like I could do those things." @GSmithLibrary @JCPS_LMS #JCPSlibraries
