Hi! I’m Dr. Nikki D. Robertson-Griffin—an educator, speaker, writer, and advocate with a deep passion for school libraries, educational technology, and the power of collaboration to transform learning. I’ve spent 32 wonderful years in education, serving in both elementary and secondary libraries in small rural towns, midsized inner-city districts, and growing suburban communities. No matter where I’ve been, my focus has always been on creating spaces where students thrive as curious, critical, and empowered digital citizens.

​

I currently split my time serving as the school librarian at Hutto Ninth Grade Center and Kerley Elementary School in Texas. I am honored to be the Past-President of the ISTE Librarians Network. I frequently speak at national, state, and regional conferences, supporting fellow librarians and educators in leading from the library and embracing the Future Ready mindset.

​

I earned my Ph.D. in Integrating Technology, Learning, and Psychology. My dissertation, How School Librarians Describe Their Experiences Within Facebook Groups for Their Professional Learning, reflects my belief in the power of peer connection and ongoing professional growth. I’m also the author of Connected Librarians: Tap Social Media to Enhance Professional Development and Student Learning and have contributed to blogs, journals, and podcasts, including ISTE, School Library Journal, and Knowledge Quest.

​

Over the years, I’ve been honored with awards such as the ASLA Ann Marie Pipkin Technology Award, the AASL Bound to Stay Bound Grant, and was named a Program Pioneer Social Media Superstar by the American Association of School Librarians.
