50 School Libraries to Follow on Instagram

Lucas Maxwell

Staff Writer

Lucas Maxwell has been working with youth in libraries for over fifteen years. Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, he's been a high school librarian in London, UK for over a decade. In 2017 he won the UK's School Librarian of the Year award and in 2022 he was named the UK Literacy Association's Reading For Pleasure Teacher Champion. He loves Dungeons & Dragons and is the author of Let's Roll: A Guide for Setting up Tabletop Roleplaying Games in Your School or Public Library. You can follow him on Twitter and on his blog.

I use Instagram every day to post new books, displays, programs, visitors to the Library and student achievements.

I’ve posted before on how bookstagramming made me a better librarian. 

I also use it to discover new ideas. If you work in School Libraries and you’re new to Instagram or if you’ve been wondering where all the cool kids are hanging out, you can follow these hashtags:

#librariesofinstagram

#librarydisplays

#teenlibrarian

#schoollibrarian

I use these all the time to generate ideas and discover new people to follow.

I’ve been using Instagram for the past two years and really love seeing what great School Libraries are doing all over the world.

That’s why I’ve collected 50 School Librarians that consistently brighten my Instagram feed on a daily basis. They hail from all over the world and will make a great addition to your “Following” list.
