📣 Special Edition: I Wrote the Book I Needed
Ai in the Library is now available!
Dear readers,
This week’s special edition is personal.
Over the past year, I’ve had countless conversations with librarians and educators who’ve said the same thing I was feeling: “There’s so much talk about AI, but where are the resources for us?”
Where’s the guidance that actually speaks to the real work we do in schools and libraries—guiding inquiry, supporting diverse learners, teaching media literacy, and advocating for ethical tech use?
The answer? There wasn’t much.
So I wrote the book I wished existed.
📘 Introducing
AI in the Library: Strategies, Tools and Ethics for Today’s Schools
This book was built from the foundation of The AI School Librarian newsletter and filled with:
✅ Ready-to-use lesson ideas
✅ Plug-and-play prompt packs
✅ Real-world examples from schools
✅ Ethical frameworks and guidance
✅ Strategies for accessibility, policy, and AI literacy
Whether you’re just beginning to explore how AI fits into your library or you’re already leading the charge—this guide is for you.
I wrote it to be Practical. Flexible. Grounded in real classrooms and school libraries. And most importantly, made for people like us—educators who care deeply about students, equity, and the future of learning.
📚 Available now in eBook and Paperback
If you’ve found this newsletter helpful over the past year, I hope you’ll check out the book—or share it with someone who needs it. Your support helps me keep doing this work and building the resources our community deserves.
And if you do grab a copy, I’d love to hear what you think.Feel free to add your review on Amazon!
