I am truly honored and grateful that Christie Vilsack, Iowa’s former First Lady, took the time to write this special article about my work as a teacher librarian at Van Meter Community School, my books, and the powerful impact school librarians have on teaching, learning, and literacy.
I met Christie several years ago when she and her family moved into the Van Meter Community School District. From the very beginning, she graciously volunteered her time and talents in our school, working alongside our students and teachers.
Over the years, we have shared many meaningful conversations about the importance of teacher librarians and the powerful impact we can have within schools, communities, and in the lives of our students, teachers, and families. It is essential that we continue to advocate for how we support our students and our community in today’s world—one shaped by technology, media and digital literacy, AI, and so much more.
You will find Common Ground: Shannon's Digital World here on Christie's Substack.
Thank you, Christie. This means the world to me. 🩷
