I read an amazing book, The labors of Hercules Beal, by @GaryDSchmidt. When people are in crisis, what does it look like for communities —especially schools — to respond? I couldn’t get enough of this quote and had to post it in the library. #GaryDSchmidt #cfblibraries @daviscfb

For @HISDSupe @TeamHISD a reminder - Scores of data shows that school libraries are strong contributors to student achievement, especially for most vulnerable students. Librarians do far more than check out books.

70+ years after the Civil War, the WPA Federal Writers' Project began interviewing elderly Americans who remembered being enslaved. This collection is at the Library & this narrative from Sarah Gudger, age 121, is just one amazing piece of it. go.loc.gov/j1ZG50OM6op #Juneteenth
ALT A portrait of an elderly Black woman, Sarah Gudger, who was reportedly 121 years old at the time the photo was taken to accompany the narrative she shared with the Federal Writers' Project. Her hair is short and white, her hands are in her lap with her fingers laced together and she is looking into the distance, to the left of the camera (her right). Her tattered shawl is safety-pinned together under her neck.

Today is Juneteenth and marks the 158th anniversary of the last African American slaves being freed in Texas. Juneteenth (June 19th), marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.
Forgot to post this last week! #AVIDSI23 Alphonse the Alligator and I with his friends at AVID General Session. Proud to represent @daviscfb with Kashayla, Ling, Celeste, and Megan (and their gators) for this important program. @Carmona_AGC #cfbproud #cfblibraries
Alphonse the Alligator (he’s French) is excited about #AVIDSI2023 and about his first ride on a train. #edugator @daviscfb #cfblibraries
One more book done! If you like a sweet animal adventure, look no further than Haven. #cfblibraries @daviscfb #txbluebonnetlist

This week we read Alma y cómo obtuvo su nombre. Today, my students presented to their classmates the story of their name. ❤️

We had such a great time at @McKamyElem summer library today! Trailblazers, please join me next Wednesday at 1:30 for another story time, activity, and book checkout. (You can also get a sneak peek of how my summer reading is going.) #cfblibraries #McKamyReads
Just finished this little gem of a graphic novel! @daviscfb #cfblibraries #cfbproud #summerreading
Dolphins, I’m doing my summer reading, too! #cfblibraries @daviscfb This poignant, well-written story deals with the scarcity of water for far too many people in our world. I love the main character, Minni (Meena). Thank you, @varshabajaj, for a wonderful and galvanizing tale!
Remember, Dolphins, our public libraries are nearby and offer all kinds of free fun activities and books! @daviscfb #cfblibraries @CarrolltonTxLib

Librarians are teachers, too! Thank you, Mrs. Wiggins for bringing books to life, planning exciting experiences for students and for teaching your Cougars what it means to be life-long learners!
