Friday Five

Magical Librarian Tour FAIL

Mar 13, 2019
1 min read

Perhaps I should have made these letters say “BREATHE.”

I have presented HUNDREDS of seminars around the country over the years. And traveled THOUSANDS of miles on planes, trains, and automobiles. With suitcases full of books in tow. And even though they always get searched and “repacked” by TSA, I have never lost anything.

Until today.

Halfway through my third week in a row of #yalit seminars, I unpacked my “book” suitcase and discovered that easily 30% of my display stuff (books, book covers, teachers guides, etc) got left behind at yesterday’s seminar hotel. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. Crying just a little bit this morning. Okay, more than a little bit. 😭📚

UPDATE: hotel was contacted and they admit it was left behind (in a nice neat pile) but they THREW EVERYTHING AWAY. Now I am crying.

The knowledge and passion for books for EVERY reader has hooked me! She is in the classroom and just gets readers.

Wowza! One of the best, packed workshops, filled with RELEVANT content, delivered in a well organized, engagingly paced seminar. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to librarians and lovers of literature.

Lindsey, English Teacher, TX

Excellent content, EXCEPTIONAL presenter! The entire presentation was engaging and meaningful. I am excited to have the opportunity to take all of these amazing titles and introduce my students to them.

GREAT SEMINAR! Shauna was fantastic. My booklist is overflowing and I can't wait to share these books with students, and educate my teachers.

Julia, School Librarian, PA

I can't wait to get these books into the hands of my students!

Shauna reinforces the idea that there are two types of students: those who like to read and those who haven't found the right book yet. She offers a plethora of resources and titles for both!
