I am also the district teacher librarian and innovation director at Van Meter Community School in Van Meter, Iowa. \n\nIn this series, the topics will focus on the many ways Future Ready Librarians® lead as we hear stories and ideas from some of the nation’s top teacher librarians. They will inspire us and make us look at our practice within the topics of collection development, diversity, virtual and school library spaces, collaboration, empowering students as creators, continuous and remote learning and so much more. \n\nTogether, through conversations, connecting and learning, we will inspire one another to take on this year and make a giant difference for the ones we serve and for our school libraries. \n\nIt’s our time to shine, friends. I hope you’ll join me in this journey as we lead from our libraries. \n"}
