Have we talked about the fact that it’s New Book Week? Maybe not everywhere, but I personally processed 600+ books over the course of two months. That’s a metric shit ton of fingerprint evidence in case I decide to become a criminal. #libraries #MediaCenters

Behold! The fruits of my labors from the past month. The students will get these during New Book Week. #libraries #MediaCenters #TechServices

Look what’s back in stock!!! FINALLY. #CSK #CorettaScottKingAward #libraries #MediaCenters

Only two weeks left of the school. Eight short days to sing songs to children who don’t know the songs with their name in it. 🎶Sheila, take a, Sheila, take a bow…🎶 #MediaCenters #ElementarySchools #sing

Tomorrow we have an author visit with a big name. Can’t wait to share some details. Maybe a child will rip his pristine leather jacket. #GuessWho #surprise #bookstodon #MediaCenters

Not entirely sure how I managed to get co-workers with whom I can share fart jokes, but I love being with my people. #MediaCenters #librarians #FartJokes

What I have learned from being in charge at the library, for two whole whopping days, is that I don’t like being in charge. Media specialist has been out sick and it’s been a time. #ElementarySchools #MediaCenters #librarians #teaching

Our school participates in the voting for the Maud Hart Lovelace award so we had some bookmarks with her face and Betsy Tacy illustrations. A 2nd grader came up to the desk, grabbed a bookmark with Maud’s portrait, and asked, “Who murdered this lady?” Could not be convinced of any other scenario. Might be time to cut back on the Law &Order binge. #MediaCenters #students #murders #TrueCrime #MaudHartLovelace

Anyone have any info on a nation-wide organization that is requesting, under the Freedom of Information Act, that all public school library catalogs be accessible remotely? The school district recently received this request. Ours have always been available, until last week when a software update messed up all our links. Heck, we didn’t even have the catalog in-house. #SchoolLibraries #catalogs #LibrariansOfMastodon #FreedomOfInformation #MediaCenters

One of the worst websites to order from is the ALA. It’s for librarians, are you telling me that no one around there knows how to make a decent-looking AND easy to use website? Also, how can you not know when you’re going to get awards’ stickers back in stock? Award season is practically here! #LibrariansOfMastodon #librarians #MediaCenters #libraries

Today a child returned a book that her cat peed on. Can’t make this up. #CatPee #libraries #MediaCenters #FullMoon

The morning started when a mouse sauntered through the library. A few children were there to witness the excitement. By lunch, children were coming in and asking if we caught the rat because they heard it has rabies. #MediaCenters #MouseHouse #ratoncitos #rodents #rumors #gossip #rabies

Developmentally, when do children achieve that unicorn status of observing an adult doing something with another person and wait their damn turn? It was a long day of reminding 12yos to GET IN LINE. #MediaCenters #tweens #ReptileBrain

With flu rampaging through the school, eight elementary teachers and our media specialist were out, things got a little wild today. I hauled out the vat of hand sanitizer and my coworker climbed up into the false ceiling. #flu #MediaCenters #ElementarySchools #shenanigans

Full moon, day off in the middle of the week for PD, children getting sick in the hallways, kindergarteners who are still adjusting to school, and so many students and teachers out with the flu. Tomorrow we have an #author visit. What a week. #FullMoon #flu #MediaCenters

If you come to a media center tech meeting, of course you get to decorate your name tent. #Libraries #MediaCenters #TechServices
