This week on Teach Me, Teacher, we welcome back the incredible Billy Allen (@3kingvisions)! Billy, a librarian and renowned storyteller, also known as one of the "Leaders of the New Cool," joins us to share his infectious positivity, community-focused approach, and unwavering dedication to getting books into the hands of children—an inspiration in itself.

Last week, we dove into critical topics such as fostering literacy, the multifaceted roles of libraries, the significance of representation, and the complex issue of book censorship.

This week, we talk about how to innovate, take risks, and push to the next level for communities, promoting literacy, and expanding your reach to help others.

Enjoy!
