Over the summer, I collected over 50 new books in this special Follett Content Titlewave list. πŸ“š

They are perfect for back-to-school time as I can't wait to share them with our students and teachers, and with you! ❀️

You will find the entire list of these books in the Follett Content Titlewave list in this post. This makes it super easy to start your own list and add these titles too.β˜‘οΈ

I hope you have a wonderful start of the year with these amazing books, friends. 😍

Welcome, Demco! A new Literati Partner supporting libraries and schools in so many special ways.πŸ“š

I loved talking with Chad Martin about how Demco supports libraries, classrooms, and learning spaces, and how schools can use Literati Partner Credits to bring even more to students.πŸŽ‰

With the new library and Makerspace opening at our school this fall, I have a big wish list for things I would love to purchase from Demco. It makes me even more excited about my Literati Book Fair coming up in October.πŸ€—
