I‘ve decided to redo my entire library. All shelves … of books…. In the house ..
😳 see you for Hanukkah 🫣

Leftcoastzen Wow, don‘t even know what to say…good luck with all that? If I had to do that right now I‘d croak. 9mo

I do both, but I love the library for most of my reading challenges. #SUNDAYFUNDAY

I also like to try it before I buy it -sometimes I library loan cookbooks and art books to make sure I want to buy them! 😂👀

BookmarkTavern That is so smart to get cookbooks from the library! Thanks for sharing! 10mo

Weekend plans: Time to straighten my library! It has been 18 months since I culled 2600 books from my home, and since then, about 1600 have come in but I haven‘t organized them, so now there are stacks and stacks everywhere. But I ate my spinach this morning and I‘m ready to rumble. *cracks knuckles* 📚❤️📚

“Library Lion”, modern fantasy, is written by Michelle Knudsen and illustrated by Kevin Hawkes and is a New York Times Best Seller. It works best as a Read Aloud or even independent reading. The local library has a surprise when a lion comes in and enjoys everything the library offers! The humans are a bit scared and wonder why the lion hasn‘t been put out but the head librarian doesn‘t see any issue because the lion follows all her rules!

amandar Usually it is the librarian defending the lion but one day the roles are reversed and the lion helps her out! This website, https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/library-lion-l... , provides a great lesson plan. UDL 2.1 and 2.4 and ESOL strategy 5 ensure all students‘ understanding of the book. #UCFLAE3414SP20 4y
DrSpalding Looks like these are great read aloud before you go to your school library for the first time each school year. There are many library themed books out there. Good choice. Excellent resource. 4y

@LibrarianRyan I actually have 2 lions in the library! We have a big fisheries and wildlife program in our school and these were donated. I'm not a fan of big game hunting, but people always get really excited to see the lions

Suet624 Wow! 4y
LibrarianRyan Those are pretty cool. How do you clean them?

One of the libraries has a tiger rug that they mounted on the wall and had to add glass over because people kept picking at the fur. It was caught by the person who built the library and they are not allowed to take it down.
4y
Johanna414 @LibrarianRyan honestly, our students are pretty good about leaving them alone, and they‘re right by my circulation desk so I can keep an eye on them. I have no idea how they get cleaned - the teacher who does our fisheries and wildlife program takes care of all the various dead animals around the school lol (edited) 4y

miss Merriweather, the librarian, is firm no running and no noise in the library. But will she let the lion run and make noise?? This gentle, artful book tells the story of a lion who makes himself quietly at home among the children at the library.

So I live and work in this teeny tiny rural school district where one of our science teachers has developed a nationally renowned fisheries and wildlife education program. They have their own pond, fish hatchery, deer preserve and tagging program, wildlife center, etc. Hunting is huge in our community.
And now we have a lion in our library...

Johanna414 To make a long story short, someone was arrested for illegally trying to sell his big cat mounts and they were confiscated. Somehow they ended up getting donated to our school and there isn‘t room for any more giant animals in the wildlife center... I don‘t think there are many other librarians who can claim they have a literal library lion! #schoollibraries #litsyloveslibraries #librariansoflitsy #librarylion 5y

My local library has moved around a lot. It has been 3 different locations in my lifetime, all of which were in walking distance of the house where I grew up. This is its current location, in what used to be a funeral home. The kids‘ section is where they prepped the bodies!
