#txla15 - Texas Library Association Annual Conference 2015

What a whirlwind week I had last week.  I was gone from Forest North (missed you guys!) for four days to participate in the Texas Library Association Annual Conference 2015, which was here in Austin, TX.  I co-emceed a Texas Bluebonnet Award Speed Dating Session where 192 librarians from around the state paid to learn about next year's list that my committee & I picked.  I participated in the 2015 Book Cart Drill Team Challenge (and we won, finally!) with 8 of my fellow RRISD librarians.  I also helped present the One Book, One Community: Share the Wonder, Choose Kind project that RRISD librarians participated in across the community last year.  I was honored to work on such amazing teams and with such amazing people.  I love my job!  Check out some of the fun I had!

RRISD "Hip Hop Librarians" win state Book Cart Drill Team Competition

Mrs. Fournier and her librarian friends get so excited each year to compete in the Book Cart Drill Team Competition.  This year was especially great because for the first time, we won!  Check out these videos of our performances, and our article in the San Antonio Express News all about our win!  Mrs. Fournier helps write the words, and does all of the singing and rapping on all of the songs.  She has helped with engineering some years, but not in the 2014 song. She edited some of the movies below, and is working on editing a great version of the 2014 performance, as well.
