Grateful for my dear #TALLTexans22 family for including me in this amazing opportunity to present at our upcoming 2026 Texas Library Association Annual Conference. • I can't wait to share with Christina Taylor, Chamong Siong, & Mark Gottschalk. The combined expertise in this group is 🔥🔥🔥. • #txla26
Will you be in Denton next week? Let's connect! This is what I'll be doing at our annual convention. Where will you be? #SOAR #tso25 #DKGimpact • PS. Sending all my librarian friends at the American Library Association annual conference in Philly some love! #ALAAC25 I miss y'all!
I'm super excited to present Canva in a non-traditional way at this year's DKG-Texas State Organization convention. I love graphic design. I can't wait to see who will join me with their ideas, what they will create, and how amazing they'll feel to walk more confidently in graphic design.🤩
I was honored to receive Region One's invitation to celebrate the inaugural Innovative Librarian's luncheon. The District 4 Executive Board was invited because 2 of our officers were recognized. I'm so proud of each of them & so lucky to have them serve The Texas Library Association in our district.
"I wish I knew then what I know now." Let's talk #genrification. I'm eagerly undertaking this project next month. #BoutTime I need to buy labels. 😬 • 🤔What's your tried and true? Share what you wish you knew before you genrified your school library collection
When your campus tech creates amazingness to celebrate you with advocacy 🥹 • I love being back in the library. Despite all the shenanigans toward librarians, funding for libraries, & threats to intellectual freedom, this job is the best ever.💯 • Here's to continued growth & advocacy for my kiddos.🙌🏽
The coolest thing in the Dallas night sky. Thanks, Omni Dallas! #txla25 Enjoying this neat sight with @becalzada.bsky.social

Is anyone paying for Remind? How much does that run nowadays? What else are my librarian/educator peers using to share news with their communities? I need to share news with about 600 people in real time.
