Author Alyssa Reynoso-Morris visited #JMSA_Trojans lastTuesday. She shared her new book “Bold, Brilliant, & Latine,” with Jefferson Academy MS 6th, 7th & 8th grade students. All participants received an autographed copy of her book. This event was made possible by @aobfound of Washington, D.C.

I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need for projects this Fall in the Library Makerspace. I've created two projects through DonorsChoose. Your support would mean so much to my students. In return, you'll receive our heartfelt gratitude.🫶🏾 www.donorschoose.org/kc-boyd

Look who I met at the DC screening of “The Librarians” on Friday: @kcboyd.bsky.social! KC had the BRILLIANT idea of using the film in MLIS programs. Although we learn about intel freedom in grad school, nothing really prepares you for the attacks when they happen. The film shows how to fight back.

Thread: 1 - Friday night I had the pleasure of viewing, “The Librarians,” at the DC/DOX Film Festival. Director, Kim A. Snyder, and Producer, Maria Cuomo Cole, absolutely NAILED IT!
