Libraries provide access to diverse books that provide windows, mirrors and sliding glass doors for our teens, better preparing them for the world beyond school. That's another reason we love libraries!

We love librarians because they spread their love of literature to our kids!

@Mrs_Bongi @MicrosoftFlip Perfect! Thank you!

@LibraryGal17 I’ve done @MicrosoftFlip in the past but found great success with the bookstore model of written reviews on shelves at our HS!

Mr. Bongiorno was in new teacher orientation today, which means I was able to sneak the time to put together a few back to school book displays! Still have a ton to do, but it’s always nice to start off with little things like this done. #librarytwitter
