Connect, Collaborate, Create! LUV for Libraries Forster Meaningful Connections Between Libraries Nationwide....Join Us Today, Friends.

 

It has been such an honor to work alongside my friends and colleagues at Level Up Village to create LUV for Libraries, an exciting and important new initiative for libraries and school communities. 

LUV for Libraries revolutionizes K-5 education by empowering teacher librarians to connect and collaborate with peers nationwide on a safe and secure platform. The program offers project-based courses aimed at enhancing critical library, literacy, and technology skills while fostering collaboration, communication, and empathy.

Our first collaboration project includes a digital citizenship course based on my book, Sonia's Digital World, which I wrote with Capstone and ISTE. 

I hope you will join us in the fall as we kick off this special new project with librarians, teachers, and students around the country.  We would love to have you as part of the LUV for Libraries Community. 

You can join the community here today, friends. 

Help Your Readers Find Their Next Book To Read By Sharing Follett's First Chapter Friday Videos!

 

Help your readers find their next favorite book by sharing these videos of authors reading the first chapter of their books with Follett's First Chapter Fridays! 

I love watching, and sharing, these videos with our readers. You will find the videos here, friends. 
They are organized into Elementary Authors and...
...Young Adult Authors. 

I can't wait to see what authors they add next.
