Author

I am the author of four professional books for school librarians and classroom teachers. My fourth book Maximizing School Librarian Leadership: Building Connections for Learning and Advocacy is available from ALA Editions. I earned the 2019 Scholastic Library Publishing Award.

In the 2018-2019 academic year, I supported a weekly book study and monthly podcasts on the SchoolLibrarianLeadership.com blog. These resources are available to anyone who is reading the book/my blog.

I am the author of three books for children and families. My fourth children's book Please, Don't Give Me a Hug! is available for free from the Make Way for Books app.

In addition, I maintain several Web sites that I authored or illustrated. See my Amazon.com Author Page.

Educator

As an educator, I currently work as a literacies and libraries consultant and serve as an adjunct associate professor for the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and a mentor for the Lilead Project. I have served as a school librarian at every instructional level. I have also been a classroom teacher, district-level librarian mentor, literacy coach, and classroom teacher educator. I have taught preservice school librarians and children's and youth services public librarians since 1995.

Please see my Curriculum Vitae, Presentations, Workshops, and Keynotes Wiki Archive.

Advocate

I am an ardent advocate for high-quality school library programs faciliated by professional school librarians centered on classroom-library collaboration for instruction, the thoughtful integration of authentic children’s and young adult literature and relevant technology tools into the classroom curriculum, and family literacy. My most recent op-ed "Literacy Matters Every Day" was published in the Arizona Daily Star on March 6, 2019.
