These ten best IL high schools have over TWENTY certified school librarians among them. Coincidence? I think not! School librarians make a difference and ALL IL students should have access to one! @AISLEd_org @RAILSLibraries @aasl @ISBEnews
It is with great joy that I get to say congratulations to 10 of the nation’s best public high schools right here in Illinois!

I’ve had the last two @TedLasso episodes on a pretty steady loop as I work on projects this weekend. 🥰🥰 #gezellig #TheLassoWay and yes, @Toheeb_Jimoh’s smile makes everything better.

Here’s an Illinois school district that knows the value having a full-time librarian in each school brings to education! Way to go, @Yorkville115! @AISLEd_org
Our school district is again emphasizing the value they place on literacy because tonight our school board voted for our librarians to go full-time with the sole focus on the library. Yorkville kids: get ready for more book fun than ever before! 🥳📘 Thank you @Yorkville115! 🦊
