Days of... Stuff 😅

Some folks are sharing some fun "countdowns, days of things, etc..." I wish they weren't all in December, but sometimes I come back to them when there is more time. I wanted to share a few of them in case you have not seen them.

• Shannon Miller has shared the 27 Days of Digital Tools and Ideas from Future Ready Librarians. 

• Kristina Holzweiss is organizing one for Canva tips and tricks that you can check out. 

• Adobe Education has a cool one for 12 days of Adobe Express creativity challenges. I tried one to support my good friend, Donnie Piercey. 

• There are also so many end-of-the-year best books lists too... Just a few here: ALSC Notable Children's Books, New York Public Library, 2023 New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Books, Science Friday 2023’s Best Science Books For Kids, Book Riot - The 20 Best Books for Teens: 2023 Picks.

School Library Journal Summit

This past weekend, the School Library Journal Summit in Atlanta was an incredible opportunity for inspiration, collaboration, and growth! There were some great presentations by library leaders from across the country. This summit was a powerful reminder of your vital role and the difference you make each day. This is a Google Drive folder of resources that were shared in case you want to dig in some. Are you feeling like a pick-me-up? Check out this short talk from Jeff Kinney that SLJ just shared. “Books might be empathy machines, but librarians are the beating hearts of the communities they serve.” - Jeff Kinney.
