I’m not a beginner but I had “mug cozy” on my upcoming project list for this month so I signed up! #crochet10 Jan 2026 15:57 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3mc3eu4ituk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lngyaji35g2gA4. Libraries and librarians are adaptable, always meeting the needs of our communities. I think we'll still be there with literacy and community support at the heart of what we do. In schools, teachers and kids need us! #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM23 Apr 2025 00:54 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lngyaji35g2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lngxytv3pl25A3. When I planned a lesson about myths based on the night sky, I created a classroom bubble from plastic and a fan. Add a little star projector and you can have a storytime to remember! #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM23 Apr 2025 00:50 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lngxytv3pl25https://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lngxr2u6kf2dA1. Recently I was doing a lesson based on @mauramadigan7.bsky.social PBL book--Eco Fashion with 5th grade. A 3rd grader walked thorugh and said, "I hope we get to do that! That's so sigma!" #TLSkyChat #AASLSLM23 Apr 2025 00:46 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lngxr2u6kf2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lngxn2ww6f2dA1. When I was a kid, my mom went to my librarian before summer break and requested books about our vacation destination--a three week national park tour. Those were the only books we had to read! What an amazing librarian I had who curated and loaned all of those to us! #AASLSLM #TLSky23 Apr 2025 00:44 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lngxn2ww6f2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lngxcedjbv24I'm Carolyn, elementary librarian in Northern Virginia.

January circulation in the section was 118% of December's and we had fewer January school days. I weed. I know weeding makes a difference. It's nice to see it in the data. #TLSky #SchoolLibraries07 Feb 2025 23:25 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhmqqvx2422nhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lg2gohepqk2iIf you're cold and chilly, maybe you need a new hoodie, sweatshirt or T for February.

We are making a small audiobook library for their grade. After getting them started and settled I looked around the library and every single kid was sitting in a spot reading aloud. It felt like magic. #SchoolLibraries #TLSky18 Dec 2024 23:38 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3ldmjnxecj22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3ldmam2m6ys2ePopcorn day is always a favorite for our library pets.

Our hold list is shaping up to be very long. Which is good because of interest but bad because the copies I was able to (personally) purchase are limited. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky13 Dec 2024 16:22 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld76xtkk3t2chttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3ld6xvrx74e2uToday in Game Club: Othello, No Stress Chess, Uno, Magic the Gathering, Outfoxed, Dr. Eureka, Ortrio, Dog Crimes, Gnomes at Night, Deduckto, Sherlock, Dragon’s Breath, Dragonwood, and Nut Nut Squirrel.

Got the idea from our public library that use mini flyers all the time. I share tips, links, and article snapshots. It’s paired with an Article Library I keep in the workroom with longer reads. #TLSky #SchoolLibrary02 Dec 2024 23:24 +0000at://did:plc:sg7af2jo3rxspl2mh44b2c6b/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcebgoncsl2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/carolynvibbert.bsky.social/post/3lcaxjatnec2dHave any school librarians made their staff a gift guide of books and games for the month?
