Welcome to Litsy!

I walked out of my classroom for the last time today. In August, I‘m going to experience education through the lens of a high-school librarian! I‘m beyond excited!! #LibrariansofLitsy #LitsyLibrarians

Happy Librarian Day to all the librarians!

It‘s official!! I interviewed for a high-school librarian position back in October and was offered the job, then told by HR that I couldn‘t leave my English classroom and would have to wait until next school year. The principal is a woman of her word and held the position for me despite the inconvenience for her own campus. Just got the email today that I‘m officially a librarian!! I‘m going to have so much time to READ!! ❤️ #LibrariansofLitsy

A great “what if”….what if you could travel through time by entering a book. Emme is surprised to learn she can. 2 love stories involving Emme, with me voting for the historical one.

“The waves lapped upon the shore as Gram and I Collected seashells.”….I don‘t know why, but I loved this opening. I hope the book keeps its promise of interest.

Call me a sucker for books about books but I loved following Emme through her discovery of her hidden gift. Time traveling through books to record important moments of history? Yes freaking please. I have a ton of questions about why haha that are completely irrelevant to the story but that I hope the next two books will answer.

Litsy librarians, please reassure me! I‘m having my first interview for a high school librarian position today. I‘m being interviewed by the school principal and the director of instruction. I‘ve been preparing, but am afraid that I will overlook something. Does anyone have words of wisdom about what really worked for them in their interviews? 😰

1. Elementary school librarian
2. Leigh Bardugo among many others
3. 2 dogs both rescue mutts Zeus and Calli
4. Reading, playing with my dogs, Disney +, Facebook groups (bookish mostly)
5. Dog ears, not fact checking before posting information
6. Funko pops, bookmarks, books, pins
7. Reading mostly
8. NF, In this Moment, Lindsey Stirling and so many more

Thanks to my beautiful fiancé I am able to post her #libraryshelfies for #libraryshelfieday . She is an elementary school librarian.

My library is closed for a week and a half to install new carpet and a new circulation desk. So I'm taking the week off. Staycation through Wednesday (lots of reading!) and then I'm going to go visit family for the last half of the week.

🥳 🙌🏽 This coming school year I‘ll be a librarian‘s assistant/para at 2 middle schools. Half of the week I‘ll be at one school and the other half at the other! I‘ll be working in a library you guys!!!! 🙌🏽 🥳
I had the interview last week and the principal just called me today. I‘m over the moon. It‘s amazing, I‘ll be able to work with books, kids, and I‘ll be helping kids find books! 😁 💃🏽 #LibrariansofLitsy

I need this librarian in my life! I‘m waiting for an overdue book. 2 months overdue!!! 🤯🤬😤

I found this pin on Pinterest 💛

Looking forward to this one... Unfortunately, I have a whole stack of books to finish first! 😆

🤣 I saw this on BuzzFeed this week and thought of my awesome Litsy librarian friends! #fanoflibrarians #notthekardashians

I am still trying to figure out all my feelings for this book. It had an amazing premise and I loved all the characters in it. It reminded me a little bit of an old Hallmark movie I love called The Love Letter, although it is different from that, it has the same feel to it.

"...it was the library that called to me. I listened to the call and walked down the stairs and into my Gram's library. I turned on the lights and a heavy feeling came over me. What would happen to this place when Gram died? I wasn't sure, but one thing I did know was that I was not the person for the job." #bookblogger #booktuber
