Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one [that led to the Library], and that has made all the difference.
Based on the poem, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost.

6th grade visited today to select books. This young man opted to sit next to me, curled up, to enjoy his Alan Gratz book. Made my ❤️ happy to see readers self select & then read, where they want. #choicematters #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #everyoneisareader #publiceducationmatters

Each month I send out a quick glimpse of what happened in the library the prior month. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Hello Library Lovers Month! Show your library some love and stop in during February to show them you care!
#LibraryLoversMonth #LibraryLove #LibrariesAreForEveryone
While the weather is doing it's typical Michigan thing, we're here for you!
Get some work done, charge your devices, or just relax and read in our warm spaces.

Ever hear “just buy the book”? Our newest piece explains why that argument gets libraries exactly backwards and why equal access to ideas matters.

Grabbed 2 @blacktopkid.bsky.social books I had on hold, bonded with a stranger over his choice of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by @sgj.bsky.social, librarian approved of our choices to ride out the impending bad weather.
Protect and defend our libraries at all costs.

When the library is used by other classes, I grab a cart to make a "cartmobile" to take to my students! #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #readingisreading #publiceducationmatters
No one uses libraries anymore 😆. The numbers beg to differ!

Today was gathering & preparing images of staff, showcasing that they are Readers by Choice, not Chance for February's theme of celebrating the love of reading! (Yes, I will share the template!) #iamaschoollibrarian #librariesareforeveryone #readingisreading #VikingReaders #publiceducationmatters
Peter Scheer quote: If a public school were to remove every book because it contains one word deemed objectionable to some parent, then there would be no books at all in our public libraries.
One parent’s objection shouldn’t empty an entire library. If every “objectionable” word meant removal, shelves would be bare. Censorship never stops at one book. Public schools serve *all* students.

Was honored to share about experiences and sites in Rome, connecting content and sharing stories. #iamaschoollibrarian #storytelling #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
King of Ashes by S A Cosby.
Couldn’t listen to the audiobook fast enough. Had to grab the book. Local library for the win! And for my sanity 😂
#booksky #librariesareforeveryone
Collaboration today was with my librarian colleague from a different district to survey the @oelma.bksy.social members about their thoughts and needs for an alternative title database.
#iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Glad to collaborate with the school guidance counselor! She provided a list of students & asked for book recommendations based on their reading interests. Much fun to consider titles to bring these readers together. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
Today brought the opportunity to help @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social by sharing my thoughts on her challenging question, "What is the purpose of a school librarian?" #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
One of my favorite monthly tasks: swapping out guest librarians! Love her response to, "What do you think of when you think of a library?" -- I think of endless possibilities. (Happy to share about this; just DM me!) #iamaschoollibrarian #everyoneisareader #librariesareforeveryone
Yep, that's me crying when I saw my nameplate on the seat.
My seat at our local library's new auditorium. A gift from my parents.
The new Hatch Auditorium at the Library Center.
The stage in the new Hatch Auditorium.
My parents got me a new chair, and it might be the best one I’ve ever owned.
They sponsored a seat in our library’s new auditorium, with my name on it. The library is my happy place, safe space, and escape.
Now I get to be part of it forever. 💛

This is my first day event for staff -- and I'm excited! As a follow up to our jólabókaflóð a few staff members have asked for a book swap so... I'm excited to spend time with my colleagues. #iamaschoollibrarian #readingisreading

Ornaments containing the numbers 2026 hang against a dark blue background with gold confetti, captioned "Closed for the New Year! See you January 2nd!" with the logo of the St. Joseph/ Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library.
We are CLOSED for the New Year! See you again Friday, January 2nd, when we re-open at 10am.
Libby & Hoopla are available 24/7, and materials can still be returned to our exterior bin along the east parking alley.
Happy 2026!

❄️Snow days❄️ the week before break throws everything off. Thinking outside the box, I become the traveling librarian: book talks, delivering holds, renewing book, & collecting returned items. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in Michigan Winter is in want of a good book club.
Find one to join at your Library. (We have 4!)

Supporting students interests and providing materials that align with class curriculum is one of the best parts of being a school librarian. #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #librariesareforeveryone #studentchoice #publiceducationmatters
Today I had to support readers by purchasing audiobooks for their author study unit (and personal reading as they found new favorite authors!) #iamaschoollibrarian #collaboration #readingisreading #librariesareforeveryone #publiceducationmatters
