RRHS Library

Tim Walz said it best: Censorship has no place in our libraries. The Hate U Give has been banned in numerous libraries—but that won’t stop me from sharing our truth. Our stories are meant to be heard. We will not be silenced.

School librarians are community builders, innovators, collaborators, and so much more - including one of the best resources a student can have as they navigate the new school year: blog.ed.gov/2023/10/school… #BackToSchool

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?

Today is National School Librarian's Day and we would like to thank Mrs. Kulas and Mrs. Gaddie for everything they do for our students and staff🙏❤️ #RideOn #OurLibraryRocks

Librarians are spending more of their own money. Seventy-nine percent of respondents spent $384, on average, last year, up from the $333 spent by 75 percent of librarians in 2020–21. ow.ly/Ecnz50R8G6m #NationalSchoolLibraryMonth
