I’m truly thankful for my support especially these last 2 years! 💛 NO semester off from grad school, pandemic, pregnancy while still a full time mom, wife & teacher…finally walking across the stage to receive my Masters in Library Science! #SHSU #LibraryScience

Stories start here. Katy ISD libraries support reading, research & curiosity across every campus. The District reached its one millionth Sora digital checkout, with the milestone reader a fifth-grade student from Schmalz Elementary. Explore more at your campus library.

The Library isn’t just for books; it’s also a place for communities to thrive and access important resources. Here are resources, services, and external organizations that can assist with anything from wellness to translation and food security. 🤝🏼 on.nypl.org/441NneB

Katy ISD is dedicated to providing opportunities for all students, but increased funding is needed to recruit and retain top teachers. Katy ISD parent Regina A. shares why this investment is crucial for our schools and students’ success. Let’s support our educators! #KatyISD

American writer and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats was born on this day in 1916! ⛄️ Did you know that Ezra Jack Keats’ classic 'The Snowy Day' is one of the most checked out books in the history of NYPL?

This quote reminds us of the magic books bring into young lives, sparking imagination, curiosity, and a lifelong love of reading. Let’s nurture this magic by encouraging kids to explore the worlds waiting for them in every story.

Nothing cooler than an Amari being Amari for World Book Day!

This week students @JaneLongTexans learned the connection between food, exercise, and well-being! They explored how to fuel their bodies and the importance of staying active. Students blended up their own healthy creations, and enjoy the refreshing smoothies. #LCISDwefeedkids

When you give a teacher a cookie…they’ll need a BOOK!! 📚 It was SWEET to have teachers in the library pulling mentor texts & books for their classes! #LamarCISDReads

Couldn’t visit L.A. without stopping by @lastbookstorela !! 📚💙Taking some good books back to Houston!

In case you missed the news, we are back!! In this thread, we share some scenes in the bookshop from our week without power. The lights may not have been on, but our staff was firing up the fans and lanterns to keep things running behind the scenes.

Tonight, the lights came back on. Yes, we are tearing up. This week was the longest that we have ever had to close the bookshop. Longer than Ike, or even Harvey. In fact, we have been closed more days this month than we've been open. Needless to say, we miss y'all.

Jaycob Linsey, the little boy who went viral for his dance after his Ron Clark Academy class learned they were going to see “Black Panther,” has just graduated from high school! He's also going to Alabama A&M this fall! #HBCU #AAMU

BET you never seen the actual video instead of just the meme 😝 Throwback to the kids at Ron Clark Academy turning up because they were all going to see Black Panther😂🙌

BOOKSTORES ARE MY HAPPY PLACE! Are they yours, too? You can now get this design of mine on a variety of T-shirts and sweatshirts. And as always, all proceeds go toward getting books into the hands of kids! See all the options and order here: customink.com/fundraising/bo…

Finally made it to Ron Clark Academy!! 🐉🧪🛡️Amazing experience! And I’m Slide Certified! 🙌🏾

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?
