A twisty historical fiction tale about the power and magic of books. A must read for book lovers and librarians in need of inspiration. #booksky #bookrecommendations

Anne Hillerman hits her stride in this story of kidnapped Navajo and cultist environmentalists set in the high desert of the Southwest. #booksky #mysteryreaders #bookrecommendations

I want to live in a country where they deploy federal troops to do neighborhood beautification projects, build habitat for humanity homes, and provide free medical services like vaccine clinics. Where they visit with elderly folks, play sports with kids, and walk dogs at the animal shelter.

If Audrey Plaza was a private eye, she would be the main character of this darkly humorous, coming of age, detective novel. Good for YA and adult readers. #skybrarians #bookrecommendations #readersofbluesky #books #reading

Today in our Library Club we used a Draw So Cute YouTube video tutorial to draw Derpy Tiger from KPop Demon Hunter. It was hard and the kids did so well with it! #skybrarians #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #elementarylibrary

To love a child is to be forever saying goodbye to the child they used to be and falling in love with the person they’re becoming. @taylorjenkinsreid.bsky.social 😭 ♥️

A magical family and cultural history following three generations of women as they struggle to make sense of the personal and political tragedies unfolding around them. A beautiful read for historical fiction fans and armchair travelers. #readersofbluesky #booksky #bookreccomendations

Received a personalized poem from Sean Petrie of Typewriter Rodeo today. Felt special! #skybrarians #poetry #librariansofbluesky #booksky

Kathy Valence’s job is to shepherd souls from their death to eternity. But when one of her charges goes rogue, it’s up to her to find out why. In the process, she confronts her own deep childhood wounds and learns how to love and be loved. Recommend for offbeat mystery readers. #booksky #bookclub

Former Atlanta police officer turned house cleaning business owner tracks down the killer of a con artist nanny and foils corrupt land development deal. A breezy beachy read for mystery fans. #booksky #bookrecommendations

Accidentally read a romance. Two journalists compete for their dream story and, predictably, fall in love. Medium spicy. A good beach read for people who like that sort of thing. #booksky #romance #bookrecommendations

After Congress stripped away funding for @npr.org and @pbs.org, a lot of us are wondering how we can best support the most vulnerable stations. My former NPR colleague Alex Curley created this "Adopt A Station" website to help you find (and donate to) the stations most at risk. adoptastation.org

On today’s episode of Derpy Cats… #caturday #catsofbluesky #catsky #catmom #catlady

1970s Minnesota farm country. A Native American man is found dead in a field. Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman with a rough upbringing is determined the find the killers. The plot is a little weak but the main character is compelling and the writing is rich. #booksky

Working on an upcoming presentation this morning and I discovered that ERIC was restarted after a one week lapse from DOGE cuts. The budget for it is slashed in half, but at least it’s been allowed to continue. #skybrarians #teachersofbluesky

Charlotte Illes is back; subbing at her old middle school and investigating a series of threatening letters sent to the president of the board of education and her niece, a popular teacher. A fun mystery read for young adults. #booksky #bookrecommendations @katesiegel.bsky.social

Aging & broken facilities are a huge problem in HIDOE and a stark reminder of the lack of state and community investment. Rather than cut funding, the state needs to find people and pathways to create the schools our keiki deserve. @schatz.bsky.social @tokuda.house.gov @civilbeat.bsky.social

Amazing children’s book and comic book exhibit at the Centro de Artes in #SanAntonio #booksky #artsky

Some books are magic. The Other Side is one of them. To hear the author Jacqueline Woodson recite the whole book on the @isteofficial.bsky.social MainStage was transcendent. #booksky #blacksky

Jason Reyolds just gave an absolute master class in storytelling at @isteofficial.bsky.social MainStage. #booksky #blacksky

While I’m at it, the unbridled enthusiasm for AI without ANY discussion of its staggering environmental impact is problematic, to say the absolute least. @isteofficial.bsky.social You need to do better. www.scientificamerican.com/article/ais-...

Disappointed in the enthusiastic partnership between @isteofficial.bsky.social and companies like Meta, whose policies and practices enable and fuel harmful practices online. As educators, we need to hold them accountable, not blindly support and promote them. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/...

Highly recommend the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum. Small but mighty and soon to be much bigger. @isteofficial.bsky.social #BlackSky

Thanks to @becalzada.bsky.social for sending this my way. I’ve been looking at #AI “slop” through the lens of emotional exploitation and mis-, dis- and mal- information but I had not yet seen this episode. As always, John Oliver is spot on. youtu.be/TWpg1RmzAbc #edusky #TLsky #TLSkyChat

I loved this mystery for its exploration of the Thirty Meter Telescope controversy, which is ongoing. #bookrecommendations #readersofbluesky #readlocal #mysteryreaders
