A huge thanks to the South Central Kansas Library System for the shirts! Our library staff was twinning for book fair setup day #librarian #Tlsky

I learned so much at the Kansas Leadership Center’s “When everyone leads” training. Sessions were informative and engaging, and I met some great people had a lot of interesting conversations. Thanks to the Kansas Library Association for the scholarship to attend. #tlsky

Looking forward to meeting up at at the @aaslala.bsky.social National Conference. See you there! #AASL25 #tlsky

I had such a great conversation with Dr T on the SLLN podcast. The hour went by quickly as we exchanged ideas and explored ways to engage our learners in the library. #tlsky #librarylessons @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social

In my new @aaslala.bsky.social Knowledge Quest blog article, I share about the impact of my teacher study trip to Germany. There is nothing quite like standing in the exact place where history happened to give it new meaning. #aaslkq #tlsky #censorship #freedomtoread

Our school was awarded a grant to buy books so our whole K-6 school can participate in the Global Read Aloud. We’re excited to partner with other classes around the world reading the same books. I can’t wait to see all the connections we make. 🌎 📚 @theglobalreadaloud.bsky.social #GRA2025

Finished library orientation with 4th grade today. Tried the library map activity shared in @aaslala.bsky.social's Knowledge Quest blog. Readers had a great time reading the clue sheet & marking the locations on the map. Active, engaging & practical. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky

Take a look at my new article posted in the @aaslala.bsky.social Knowledge Quest blog. #tlsky #edusky

It's going to be a great year! #edusky #tlsky

Our faculty meeting was followed by a scavenger hunt around the school to find our gifts: a new staff shirt, a book for our book study, and other fun gifts. Looking forward to a great year! #tlsky #edusky

Had a great day helping my daughter-in-law move in to her new classroom and setting up her classroom library. 😍 #classroomlibrary

Apply to receive a Little Free Library filled with books! ❤️ 📚 #tlsky #edusky #littlefreelibrary

I’m so glad you benefited from reading Disrupting Thinking. I know you and your students will love using the Book Head Heart questions. ❤️ I’m so happy to know my article made an impact. @slj.com @overbooked.bsky.social

I have a new post on the @aaslala.bsky.social KQ blog about my favorite library orientation activity. #tlsky #aaslkq #libraryorientation

Had a fun day meeting kids’ book creators at #SDCC2025. Great panels and autograph sessions. #tlsky @goraina.bsky.social @dansantat.bsky.social Jeffrey Brown

So excited to attend AASL this fall! These sessions will all be fabulous! #tlsky #aasl2025

I am excited to present at this Wichita conference in the fall. Colby Sharp is a guest speaker! My topic: Travel and Learn with Place-Based, Experiential Professional Development. #tlsky #edusky #pd #travelandlearn

The #ALAAC25 session everyone’s been talking about is coming to C-SPAN! Tune in this Sunday, July 27 at 4:35 PM EDT to see Carla Hayden, former Librarian of Congress, talk with Kwame Alexander about her remarkable career & the unexpected firing that rocked the library world. www.c-span.org/bookTv/

Libraries are catalysts for inclusion, education, and opportunity—locally and globally. At the UN 2025 Sustainable Development Forum, ALA leaders joined international partners to share how libraries drive progress on equity, employment, and lifelong learning. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

I’m excited to start something new. I was selected as a Knowledge Quest blogger for @aaslala.bsky.social! I am looking forward to sharing thoughts about libraries and my work as a school librarian. #AASLkq #tlsky #edusky #bookishplaces #travel #internationallibraries

So much wisdom and truth to digest in this article. “When books are being banned, reading books becomes a political act of resistance.” #tlsky #edusky pearlsandrubys.slj.com/2025/07/13/d...

I loved sharing two engaging student projects in this article for @edutopia.org. I learned that ramping up relevance was key to building excitement in students. #tlsky #edusky

I had the incredible opportunity to visit Germany through a fellowship for U.S. teachers. You can read about my experience on my blog. #tlsky #edusky #Germany #internationaleducation bibliobrownlee.weebly.com/blog/brownle...

Last summer I got to attend the amazing San Diego Comic-Con as part of a teacher institute on teaching with comics. This summer I'm bringing the whole family! We're taking a road trip and our youngest daughter will fly to San Diego from her summer internship in Pennsylvania to join the fun. #SDCC25

This fantastic video from @edutopia.org gives great practical tips to encourage reading. #tlsky #edusky www.edutopia.org/video/how-to...

Thanks to @edutopia.org for this opportunity to share two community-based projects I implemented with students. Kids were totally engaged and I saw lots of learning and growth. #tlsky #edusky

I enjoyed spending time on Zoom this evening speaking to a graduate school class about programming ideas for elementary-age kids in school and public libraries. The professor and students asked excellent questions. #tlsky

I’m excited to have a new article published on the Edutopia blog! @edutopia.org #tlsky #edusky #relevance #arteducation www.edutopia.org/article/maki...

This was a phenomenal experience! If you’re a teacher interested in White House history, you should apply for next summer’s program. #WHHTI25 @whitehousehistory.bsky.social #tlsky #edusky

Our White House tour was exceptional. Thanks to the White House History Association for sponsoring this outstanding teacher program. @whitehousehistory.bsky.social #whhti25

I love this article about teacher-librarian collaboration! #tlsky #edusky

Our VIP White House Tour yesterday was incredible! We spent two hours on a tour led by staff from the curator’s office and we met several staff members of the residence. Such a cool experience! Thanks to the White House History Teacher Institute! #WHHTI25 #tlsky #edusky #summerpd

24 educators from across the country have gathered for the WHHTI (White House History Teacher Institute). Had a great day of learning and activities. Visited to the fantastic People’s House interactive museum. #summerpd #tlsky #edusky @thepeopleshouse.bsky.social @whitehousehistory.bsky.social

I was home for four days and am now heading out to summer PD trip #2: the White House History Teacher Institute in Washington, DC. The Wichita airport has this sweet short dispenser so you can read while waiting for your plane. 📕✈️ #tlsky #edusky #travelandlearn #professionaldevelopment

News Literacy resources are always needed and appreciated! #edusky #tlsky #medialiteracy #newsliteracy @weareteachers.bsky.social

Take a look at my review of @katemessner.com’s History Smashers series for middle grade. The series was chosen as a Teacher Pick by @weareteachers.bsky.social. #middlegradelit #EduSky #TLsky www.weareteachers.com/teacher-pick...

Today I visited the Clementine Baroque Library and Astronomical Tower in Prague. Jesuits founded the library in 1556 and construction on the library hall began in 1722. Astounding! And the view from the tower was beautiful. What a city! #bookishplaces #baroquelibraryofprague #tlsky

If you’ll be attending the AASL Conference in October, apply! Your knowledge and expertise should be shared! #tlsky @aaslala.bsky.social

This book hooked me from the very first line and by the end I had cried a bucket of tears. What a phenomenal story! I can’t wait to share it with students. They are going to love it. #middlegradelit #tlsky #kitlit

I am one of 15 U.S. teachers heading out on a Transatlantic Study Trip to Germany sponsored by Atlantik Brueke. I will arrive in Munich tomorrow morning where our group will travel to Chemnitz, Dresden, and Berlin while learning about modern Germany: education, culture, and politics. #TLSky #Germany

I rounded up some Kansas-themed gifts to give our guest speakers in Germany. Special thanks to Sterling Chamber of Commerce and Sterling College for donating swag. #tlsky #teachertravel #professionaldevelopment #germany

NEW: Staff at the Institute of Museum & Library Services are returning to work thanks to an order from a federal judge in Rhode Island. Grants in plaintiff states have begun to be restored. Learn more: ala.org/IMLSBack (1/2)

I leave for my teacher study trip to Germany in 3 days! My husband is meeting after the teacher trip concludes and we will do further traveling. I was just checking the weather in our destination cities to help me pack. Looking forward to visiting some amazing places! #tlsky #teachertravel #summerPD

Thanks to @shannonmmiller.bsky.social for the great conversation about graphic novels and social justice. #TLsky #graphicnovels

I am so excited to present at the AASL National Conference for the second time! Attending in 2023 was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to make even more connections in St. Louis this fall. @aaslala.bsky.social #tlsky #schoollibrarian #AASL2025

I bought a small Bluetooth keyboard to take to Germany so I can journal each day. It folds in half and will be easy to travel with. Six days until I fly off in my transatlantic adventure! ✈️ 🇩🇪 #tlsky #edusky

Thanks to the South Central Kansas Library System for the sweet gifts! I love the book about library joy and fun colored pens. #libraryjoy #tlsky
