Librarians Rule

Fresh from the Tampa Bay-hosted Association of Independent School Librarians last week, never have I felt more like librarians really DO rule. I spent four days with almost 130 librarians from schools all around the country, and we're all doing terrific things for our constituencies, everyone from pre-kindergarteners to graduating seniors.

We're helping elementary kids find favorite books to read, we're working with teachers to create exciting projects in middle school, we're helping high school students get ready for the next big step in their learning careers. And they're all so interesting! Some fly planes, some go on mission trips to Guatemala, some coach the track team, some belly dance . . . .  So this morning, when my own pre-K cutie wanted a new temporary tattoo for the week (he's really into glam rock, so he demands a new tat every ten days or else he'll freestyle one himself with marker), I knew just which one to pick.

LIBRARIANS RULE. Boom.
