    The Last Library Hurrah Comics and Color. Graphic novels and gadgets. This year's sixth annual Free Comic Book Day in my high school library added some literary fun to the end-of-school-year chaos. Students from all grades stopped by to browse. Manga. Star Wars. Godzilla. Archie. Each teen was drawn to different titles. As I watched [...]

    I would love to say that I am a lifelong learner, especially here on this site where learning is celebrated. But I can't say this because that would not be true. Contrary to what you might think, it's not because I quit learning when I left school, quite the opposite really. In school, I begrudgingly [...]

    As I write this, for many of us, our school year is coming into the wind down. The students are looking forward to summer, classroom educators are counting down, and you are mentally preparing for your first morning where you can slowly sip your cup of coffee and read a book on the back deck.  [...]

    A strong culture of reading is not created by forcing every student to love the same book. It is created by helping students feel safe exploring, questioning, trying new formats, and discovering what they actually enjoy. When we allow students to choose their own reading paths, we are not lowering expectations. We are building connection.

    More Ironic Than Alanis Well, the news has been grim lately. As school budgets get tighter than they have for years, more school library programs are being shuttered to "save money." More school librarians are being let go or reassigned to "improve budgetary outcomes."  It is ironic on a scale I have trouble conceptualizing, as [...]
