Wolf

Beaver - I am task-oriented and get a lot of things completed quickly. I am also a good problem solver.

2014-10-25 14:00:33 UTC

Cheetah

2014-10-25 14:02:26 UTC

I move too fast for some--and sometimes need to keep this in check and slow down

Lion

2014-10-25 14:04:03 UTC

I tend to take the lead. Downfall might be that I can be critical and too task focused.

chimpanzee

2014-10-25 20:17:07 UTC

Fun loving, quick learner, but while I am smart enough to know better, I sometimes do or say awkward things in new situations.

2014-10-25 20:18:17 UTC

Great Dane. Took a quiz and that was my result.

Termite

2014-10-25 20:21:03 UTC

I slowly eat away at an old school culture and foundation of teaching, so that that foundation must be built anew.

Sled dog

2014-10-25 20:43:49 UTC

Because I keep going and moving forward even when it is tough to do so

Lone wolf

2014-10-25 20:44:14 UTC

I tend to go alone and do things. Hope others will join in

Cat

2014-10-25 20:44:27 UTC

Furiously chasing change until I need a nap to re-charge

Chameleon

elissa_moritz — 2014-10-25 20:48:32 UTC

I have to change my colors for many situations throughout the day.

Panda

2014-10-25 20:57:04 UTC

Gentle, vegetarian, compelling, rare

Scent hound

2014-10-25 21:15:08 UTC

I keep my nose to the ground until I figure how to solve a problem or get a project completed.

Owl

lantichi — 2014-10-26 11:07:18 UTC

Night animal like me. It inspired my passions and stimulates my mind.

Laughing Hyena

2014-10-26 13:14:49 UTC

Because sometimes, in reflection, I just have to laugh.

Parakeet

2014-10-26 13:18:21 UTC

I'm cheerful and happy most of the time, but if you get in my personal space I might bite.

2014-10-26 13:30:15 UTC

Elephant because I am a persistent collaborator

Haw

2014-10-26 13:50:35 UTC

I often dive into things after careful planning, and dont look back

Hawk

2014-10-26 13:50:37 UTC

Dog

emalespina — 2014-10-26 14:08:49 UTC

Loving, fun and always there for you.

Octopus

2014-10-26 14:09:27 UTC

I try to reach out with many hands to help and bring together others.

Crow

plemmonsa — 2014-10-26 14:09:36 UTC

The crow can remember, conspire with one another, use multiple tools to problem solve, plan, and adapt.

Lion

austenreeder — 2014-10-26 14:10:28 UTC

I move fast when I need to, but can be settled in one place. I am happiest when working in a pack (collaborating). I am fiercely protective of my students.

Fox

2014-10-26 14:11:40 UTC

I am persistent and sometimes sly to get what we need, if I have to be sneaky I can for the good of all

Ant

2014-10-26 14:12:24 UTC

Because I am much stronger with my army of teachers and librarians working together for change.

Unicorn!

2014-10-26 14:13:41 UTC

Rarely seen but always working the magic behind the scenes.

Goat

2014-10-26 14:18:12 UTC

Persistent, tenacious, stubborn and loving.

Hummigbird

2014-10-26 14:21:30 UTC

Amazing traveler, accomplishes more than seems possible, depends on the kindness of others to help me survive

Ninja cat

wynecler — 2014-10-26 14:24:20 UTC

Nimble, strength, fierce.

Wampus Cat

2014-10-26 14:33:26 UTC

Six legs (because you need extra strong limbs to take care of all the parts of our awesome job!)

Sharyn merrigan

2014-10-26 14:34:03 UTC

Squirrel - adaptable, social, curious, collecting/curating, able to leap long distances.

Octopus

bernalk — 2014-10-26 14:42:12 UTC

We have so many tentacles in so many different things throughout our day. I need to float around everywhere. Sometimes I ink myself, but it is only to hide momentarily to gather more strength.

Tortoise

2014-10-26 14:43:00 UTC

Even when I get discouraged, I keep going out to twitter, blogs, etc. to get new ideas from the fabulous library leaders out there and try leading with their ideas

Univorn

2014-10-26 14:43:52 UTC

A Germ

2014-10-26 14:44:55 UTC

A tiny thing that infects its host - mine will infect with joy, curiosity, enthusiasm, creativity, and energy

Sarah Messham

2014-10-26 14:51:02 UTC

Definitely feeling like a fawn. Still getting my feet under me, and often getting a little too excited and doing some stumbling and rolling - but thankfully, surrounded by an amazing deer family who pick me up, dust me off, and show me how to really move.

Shelly Buchanan

The camel. Sturdy, persistent, and tireless. We both have a strong work ethic and a stubborn streak. While frequently irritated with the petty we can have tremendous patience with things that matter most.
