The Power of the School Librarian Infographic....A Wonderful Advocacy Tool For The New Year!

 

I love The Power of the School Librarian infographic our friends at Capstone created.  

This is such a wonderful advocacy tool for all of us to print off and hang up in our libraries as we start a brand new school year.  

It's also perfect to share with your administrators, teachers, and families too. 

I plan to share it in my first library newsletter of the year and on our library socials.  

You will find it here on Capstone's Back-to-School page! 

You've Been Book'd With Back-to-School Read Alouds!

 

It's back-to-school time! 

Over the summer, I read a lot of new books that I can't wait to share with our students and teachers. In this You've Been Book'd, I brought together 55 of these new books to share with you.  

You will find the Follett Titlewave list here.  This makes it super easy to check out all of the books, read the reviews, and even see what other books these wonderful authors and illustrators have created. 

I hope you have a wonderful start to your school year with your readers, friends. 

Learn All About Literati Book Fairs at the LIVE Webinar Today....Register Here, Friends!

 

We are so excited to welcome Literati Book Fairs back to our community this fall! 

There are so many reasons we love our Literati Book Fairs. They bring so much joy and excitement to our readers while supporting our families, library, classrooms, and our entire school community. 

This year, we are dreaming up so many special ideas for the new Literati Book Fair theme, Campfire Magic! 

Today, we talked about having a jar filled with marshmallows for our guests to guess, ordering lots of little lights to create a cozy, magical glow throughout the library, and adding a cozy campfire reading spot where students can curl up with a good book. It’s going to be so much fun!

With book fair season here, our friends at Literati are hosting four live webinars throughout the fall. The first one is this week on August 18 at 4:00pm CST.    

             

In the webinar, you will learn all about Literati's best strategies for no-stress success at your school book fair this season. All sessions include a first look at the Fall 2026 Campfire Magic theme, a 30-40 minute walkthrough, Q&A, and a merch drawing with the Literati Team and special guests, too.

You can register for the webinar here, friends.  Hope to see you there.
