In this episode of The Library Stage, Amanda Hunt welcomes elementary school librarian Nick Moore to share how opening the library during lunch has transformed student engagement, built relationships, and created a space where every learner feels they belong. Nick discusses how this simple idea became one of the most impactful parts of his library program while also sharing insights into makerspaces, technology integration, and creating joyful learning experiences.

Welcome to The Library Stage where school librarians take the stage. 18 minutes. One big idea. Every episode.
In this first episode, host Amanda Hunt, MLS (@TheNextGenLibrarian), a Texas school librarian with 20 years across all levels of education, pulls back the curtain on the show: why school librarians are the best-kept secret in education, what to expect from the three pillars (🩷 Literacy, 🧡 Edtech, 🩵 Discovery), and how the TED-style 18-minute format works, from the Opening Act to the Curtain Call.
Plus: the very first Curtain Call. Here are Amanda's rapid-fire recs to kick off the show, including:
🩷 A book she can't stop recommending: Copefield and Strong Like You by T.L. Simpson. Both Young Teen Lit books that feature boys in sports that deals with toxic masculinity and sharing emotions in a healthy way instead of in anger.
🧡 A tool that's earning its spot in her library: Adobe Podcast & Adobe Aqua (see links below) &
