I'm seeing a lot of memes related to gas prices being shared today. It makes sense. Not only are high gas prices a source of extreme frustration, but memes are an easy and satisfying way to capture and share what are often complex ideas and feelings. 🧵1/

Since it took me so long to post pics from the Dec. 5 @JCASLKY Holiday Party @Flanagans502, I thought I'd make a thread of it. We shared our #AASL19 stories and had toasted ravioli, chicken wings, artichoke, spinach dip, veggies, cake.
Guess who won a door prize @JCASLKY’s Holiday Party? JCASL’s secretary @Amy_BakerLMS & occasional @KylChat mod. Amy helps facilitate so many great things @WilkersonTElem. Svc projects, collabs, newscasts, & more to show #kidscanmakeadifference. #jcpslibraries @jcpsforward.
@Amy_BakerLMS wasn't the only winner. Everyone but one at the Holiday Party walked away with a door prize! Sorry, @crystoannielib. Speaking of, here she is with Stacie Alvey @alveyinthelib, Kim Tullbane, and Jackie Marrs @Reederchik. They are all #LeadingFromTheLibrary this year.
