Resuming school library life for the 2025/2026 season by cataloguing some good new reads & organizing student orientation materials!! 📚⚡ Glad to be back 👍 #TLsky #EduSky #Comicbooks #SchoolLibrary #OntEd #FutureReadyPeel @PeelSchools

Glad we kept most of our physical media over the years while digital subscriptions & streaming services started taking over, especially for the sake of my 'little sidekicks'. Losing access to art & stories due to pay barriers, or "Shelved" content is rough. #EquityOfAccess #Library #DVD #VHS

Recently visited the Gutenberg Museum in Germany. The curation of 15th century material to connect to modern mass media was an excellent way to convey the impact of the printing press to new audiences. Well done! #Gutenberg #Museum #Library #DigitalLiteracy #DigitalCitizenship #Communication

Picked up some 'STABILO Multi-Talented Pencils' in Germany recently, inspired by Bob Shea's everyday carry for his 'Super Fun Drawing Club' ➡️ www.bobshea.com/store/bob-shapes ... Looking forward to creating! 🎨 #KidLit #TLsky #EduSky #TeacherLibrarian #EDC
