Had an amazing experience experience at my first @aaslala.bsky.social conference! I have so many ideas written down and tons of free books in my luggage! Can’t wait for the next conference in Portland, Oregon in 2027! #AASL2025 #schoollibrarians #TLSky #Skybrarian

Ending #AASL2025 in St. Louis with @mychal3ts.bsky.social! It was an amazing conference and I enjoyed all of it!

@weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social keynote with authors Soman Chainani and Ellen Oh, alongside school librarian Lauren Mobley. Great conversations with authors. #AASL25 #TLSky #Skybrarian

Steve Hofstetter kicking off the #AASL2025 in St. Louis! #TLSky #Skybrarian

It is Banned Books Week! Unfortunately books are being challenged in 2025 like it is 1984. Everyone should have the freedom to read whatever they want! We deserve diverse books. #bannedbooksweek #freedomtoread #Skybrarian #TLSky

I presented in a tent today! @wnylrc.bsky.social Unconference at the Buffalo Naval Park! #TLSky #Skybrarian

The management team at WNYRIC held their meeting at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. We were able to take a tour with BOCES students in the New Visions Plant Science program. We also had the chance to make our own terrariums to take home!

A box of new foreign language titles came in. The growing collection has Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian titles. I’m always looking for more sources of books in other languages. Share your favorite! #foreignlanguages #reading #TLSky #Skybrarian

Books and musicals, my two favorite things.

Bob says it’s National Read a Book Day! Take a break from your busy day and enjoy a book! Pick a new book or read an old favorite! #nationalreadabookday #weekendreading #TLSky #Skybrarian

The first week of school (for some) is over! What was it like for you in your library this week? If your library were a movie, what would the title be, and what would happen during the first week? #schoollibrary #TLSky #Skybrarian #journalprompts #reflection

August Reading Wrap

Steve Tasker is the speaker at Erie 1 BOCES Opening Day.

Another day, another library: The Morgan Library #librarygoals #Skybrarian

In the city for work! Stopped by the NYPL on my way back from dinner. Renewed my library card while I was at it! Did you know that any New York State resident can get a NYPL library card?! #TLSky #Skybrarians

Spending my day on the @tcea.org 2025 Library Conference! My presentation was one of the first of the day! #leadoutloud #schoollibrarian #tcea #TLSky #Skybrarian

How do you read over the summer? By a campfire, at the beach, or in the water? I don’t recommend reading in the water if you borrowed the book from a library! #summerreading #TLSky #Skybrarian #BookSky

Excited to say my article on the @tcea.org TechNotes Blog was posted this morning. Check out “Blending Traditional Literacy and Technology in the School Library” blog.tcea.org/blending-tra... #TLSky #Skybrarian #BookSky

Learning from @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social at E2CCB today. She gives great advice to help school librarians create digital detectives that understand the next generation of news and information literacy. #TLSky #Skybrarian

“I don’t like reading, it’s too hard—” listen to me. if a Jack Russell terrier can not only read the classics but also ENJOY them so much that he feels moved to perform them in costume, and find in them constant application to events in his life, so can you.

Libraries are for everyone! Everyone deserves to see themselves in the books they read and get the chance to experience diverse perspectives! Happy Pride Month! #librariesareforeveryone #pride #pridemonth2025 #TLSky #Skybrarian #Booksky

Books read this May. I’ve said I won’t buy any more books until my TBR pile is smaller, but I am going to Saratoga in a week and will probably end up at the bookstore. #mayreadingwrapup #BookSky

I'm presenting at the TCEA Librarian Conference on June 24th at 9AM! Join me for this virtual conference just for school librarians. tcea.org/libcon2025 #TLSky #Skybrarian @tcea.org

Awesome things in libraries. At the Erie 1 BOCES Impact Expo at UB today. They have Legos in Silverman Library!

Spent the day at Artpark today for Erie 1 BOCES’ first Clay Throw Down! It was a great event and students didn’t let the rain stop them! My favorite event was the No Hands Challenge! I really expected to see more students use their feet to create a vessel in the pottery wheel.

Life gets busy and we don’t allow ourselves to read. Even if you don’t pick up a book for years, you’re still a reader. #TLSky #Skybrarian

There’s Hobbits living in my flower box. #lotr #booknerd #TLSky #Skybrarian

“The things that make you weird, make you powerful.” @tonyweaverjr.bsky.social We had a wonderful visit from Tony Weaver Jr., author of Weirdo, for our final Communication Coordinators and Council meeting of the year. Definitely recommend him! #authorvisit #TLSky #Skybrarians

Why do people continue to put someone who does not have a Masters Degree in Library Science into a position as librarian?! #Skybrarian #TLSky www.npr.org/2025/05/12/n...

I think so many of us had super fan moments with @mychal3ts.bsky.social at #nylasy2025! I was so happy he came to our conference and took the time to interact with so many! #TLSky #Skybrarian

Having fun isn’t hard, when you’ve got a library card! #arthurtheaardvark #nylassl25

Ann M. Martin’s favorite Babysitter Club book is the OG: Kristy’s Big Idea. #aaslssl25 #TLSky #Skybrarian

Done. Teaching with Primary Sources. I feel like I rambled. And I was kind of scattered. But otherwise I think it went well. Thanks for picture @techbrarian.bsky.social #nylassl25 #librarian #library #schoollibrarian

@jasonreynolds83.bsky.social talking about why he writes. He hopes that his writing can give language to the feelings kids have. For Brendan Kiley libraries were his church. #nylassl25 #TLSky #Skybrarian
