Where's the Red Chair now?

As the librarian at Shaw Elementary for four years, I joyously read books to kids while perched in my red chair, a family heirloom built by my grandfather. I started this blog as a way to share lessons and read-alouds and document a "year in the life" of a busy elementary librarian. Now that I've moved on to high school, the red chair resides in my home, but it's still the place that I perch to read, write, and contemplate the world around me.

As a librarian at Mesquite High School, my mission is to turn teens into life-long readers--to ignite that spark for literacy that will propel them into their adult lives. Even though the red chair no longer has a physical presence in my library, it serves as a symbol of my mission--that reading will become so important to these teens that they will seek out a physical space for it--that they might have their own "red reading chair" one day.

A librarian can dream... right?
