Last night, I participated in the @readtosucceed annual celebrity spelling bee. Big congrats to Katie Turner, Youth Services Coordinator at Linebaugh for taking home the trophy! @rclstn 🎉 It was really cool to meet other literacy enthusiasts in our community.

What a treat! Today, I joined Smyrna High School students as they learned how to be true archivists of historical primary documents at the Tennessee State Library and Archives. The curator and cataloger in me was overjoyed. Kudos @SHSLibrary37167 for providing this opportunity!

Proud dad moment! When your son comes to speak to your students about his career (creative designer for @Adobe) and the impacts of AI in his field and the ethical responsibility of using AI. And a bonus… got to see my grandson! #grandpaLife @TFAA_Rams @rucoschools @mrsjgehrke

Loved meeting Mr. Greene yesterday at @RockyForkMS, the great, great grandson of Frederick Douglass. It was really cool to witness students make real connections between their Amplify unit and Mr. Greene’s message of literacy and legacy. 🇺🇸

Our librarians shared great ideas during our PLC time today. I love seeing our people learn from one another and then witness their collaboration in action when I visit their respective libraries! 💥

We are so grateful that Humanities Tennessee partnered with our school district to arrange for 700 of our students from seven different schools to attend the Southern Festival of Books Student Day at The Tennessee State Library and Archives. So much book joy cultivated!
