Just in time for back to #school: deemed “essential” by Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA), “a great read” by School Library Journal, and “comprehensive” by Reference & User Services Quarterly, the new second edition is now in stock! Hilda K. Weisburg's guide is indispensable for school librarians. https://www.alastore.ala.org/lfsl2

Quote from the meeting - "As a parent, I do not want my child having this privacy and confidentiality in their library use." - Member Hickman

Adding some hashtags to this. Hopefully some journalists on here will be inspired.

Helping people understand what it takes to be media and information-literate is a function of school and public libraries. And they are under threat.

He might like WHEN YOU REACH ME by #RebeccaStead too, and ORPHANS OF THE TIDE by #StruanMurray also great (though contains some magic.) Maybe #librarians #schoollibrarians can suggest others?

The search facility here is proving challenging. Am going to try a hashtag to see if I can be found #SchoolLibrarians

4 followers · 4 posts · Server toot.wales#schoollibrarians This is like a big conference where you are desperately looking for people you might know. It seems easier to find people with a hashtag rather than their mastadon tags
