Thanks for taking a look at my new blog. I have been a school librarian for over 25 years and also give frequent presentations. After being inspired by other librarians I know in person and through social media, I decided I wanted to start a blog to have a place to share thoughts, experiences, book, lessons, and projects. 

I will also post occasional press releases here as well.  Our local newspaper requires a subscription to see their digital edition, and our district newsletter isn't always posted on the website (it's more often emailed to stakeholders), so I wanted a place to share and archive library-related news and articles.

In October, I attended my first AASL National Conference and found it to be a fantastic and inspiring experience. That experience has spurred me to get more involved in school librarianship on a national level. As a result, I have some new professional activities on the horizon: I am writing an article for Knowledge Quest, an AASL journal, which is slated for publication in the March/April 2024 issue. I will also be writing some guest posts for the Teen Librarian Toolbox blog sponsored by School Library Journal. The TLT blog posts will be coming out in 2024. I will share more information here when these things are posted.

​I was looking for a catchy name for my blog and liked the idea of alliteration. Biblio means "connected with books," so I decided BiblioBrownlee was perfect! I am excited about using this blog as an avenue of connection with other librarians and book lovers. I am looking forward to sharing with and learning from all of you.
