Join Me Today For The New Capstone Webinar To Learn About Team Cute or Team Gross and How I Used It To Create Our 2026 March Book Madness!

I have been working on a fun new March Book Madness for this year.  I used the Capstone Cute vs Gross campaign from the Spring 2025 catalog and other resources they have created and shared. 

It turned out so cute and fun!  I am excited for our students and teachers to participate.  

In fact, I want to share everything I created with all of you! 

Today at 4:00pm CST, in my webinar with Capstone, Team Cute or Team Gross, Activating Student Voice Through Library Voting, I will share this easy way to get students talking, reading, and coming back for more.  

This high-energy session is packed with: 

• A simple, ready-to-use student voting activation you can set up in minutes.

• Easy ways to advocate for high-engagement titles in your library. 

• Plug-and-play ideas that spark participation and circulation. 

• A chance to WIN adorable or hilariously gross door decor, bookmarks, stickers, and cute and gross books for your library! 

You will have everything you need at the end of this webinar to bring this to your library and readers too.

Register here. 

Everyone who registers and attends will be entered to WIN the prize pack too! 

I can't wait to see you there, friends. 💜

A Webinar Worth Sharing: Helping Families Understand AI with The Achievery and Common Sense Media.

 

Our friends at The Achievery hosted a special webinar this month with Common Sense Media called Real Parenting in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. 

In the webinar, families and educators gained an understanding about what AI is, how it works, and how our kids are using AI for school and personally. They shared hands-on activities and resources for families to give them the tools they need to guide their children on using AI safely and responsibly.  

You will find the webinar recording here. This is a wonderful resource to share with your families and community. 

And when you go to The Achievery, you will find the resources they shared, and more focusing on AI. 

You can sign up for your FREE Achievery account here.  Please invite your fellow colleagues and families to join.  It is FREE for everyone. 

I know you will love these AI resources, and everything The Achievery includes.
