The School Library Journal Summit in Atlanta this past weekend was an incredible opportunity for inspiration, collaboration, and growth! Library leaders from across the country converged to soak in new ideas, effective strategies, and passion for our profession. Some of my favorites talks were from Cicely Lewis, Tom Bober, and Amanda Jones. There was no shortage of wisdom and motivation. My mind is still buzzing from 2 days immersed in the energy of school librarians driving change. I’m returning home armed with fresh knowledge and restored purpose, ready to serve our school library leaders and students. This summit was a powerful reminder of the vital role we play and the difference we make each day. Thank you School Library Journal. I’m so grateful for this chance to unite with the best of the best!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(This is my sketchnote of the summit<\/a>. This is just a few things that jumped out. There were so many great shares that I missed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
