I listen to this podcast on my walks and it brightens my days! Thank you Amy for sending a sweet note & stickers to my school in Pensacola!!! You’re the best!

    Thank you!
    Amy Hermon’s expertise, honesty, and fantastic guests fueled my fire to pursue this career path. Thank you for the remarkable episodes that propelled me through graduate school studies, numerous walks/runs/bike rides, commutes to and from my first two years as a school librarian, and of course as I organize materials at home and school.
  • LMS_Rothmier
    Excellent School Librarian resource!
    I am so happy to have found Amy’s podcast. She has a great variety of guests (elementary through secondary) that cover topics that school librarians deal with on a daily basis. Her interview style is friendly and makes her guests feel welcome. It’s a fantastic resource to find answers to questions you may have about your school librarian position.
  • KKBergerson
    Fantastic resource
    This podcast is fantastic! Amy does a wonderful job covering a wide range of topics relevant to school librarians with interesting and knowledgeable guests. School Librarians United has been extremely helpful in preparing me for challenges I will face as a future school librarian.

    Amazing Podcast!
    The only podcast I listen to in regards to school librarians! Love it! Great for new school librarians! Novice and veteran school librarians will learns a lot from this podcast!
  • Jevalero
    Just what I need to hear. Every. Single. Episode.
    Every episode is so timely. I was placed in a new position as a high school librarian-there’s an episode about inheriting a mess. I need help with diversification-there’s an episode on #ownvoices and MiShelf to help me get started, which I had never heard of either one before. Each episode has show notes and helpful attachments. She asks guests how to find them on social media. My PLN keeps growing because I follow her amazing guests. Many discussions about advocacy and collaboration! This podcast is perfect for all librarians. Refreshing and inspiring.
  • C Wagoner
    Thank You!!!
    I’m 2 years in as our small town elementary school librarian! I don’t have a background in library and learning the ropes has been hard! I wish I found this sooner! It’s perfect for my situation!
  • Boberfamily

    This podcast has a bit of everything for school librarians. If one episode doesn’t work for you, another surely will. Great topics, great host, and great guests.

    Grateful for this podcast
    I was recently hired as a school librarian and I have not gone to library school. I will begin my new job in August and this podcast has been invaluable to me as I prepare for my new job. Amy has inspired me! Thank you, Amy, for all your time... the links in the show notes are an amazing bonus. I think Amy has a great voice for radio too. Nice, easy going, positive and warm tone to her voice. ❤️

    Great content but....
    As a librarian I love her content, but listening to her read her script is painful.
