Good Morning, Brave Hearts. Some of us were born to dilly dally & yet here we are, armored up & ready to face the day. Whether you’re wielding a spear or a strong cup of coffee, remember: resistance can be gentle, joyful, & fierce all at once. #MakeGoodTrouble #Jaye’sMorningLight

#SpringBreak Visited one of my favorite #IndependentBookStore today & got some fun things.

#SpringBreak Great new observation deck at Assawoman Wildlife Refuge with stairs & a ramp.

A8 #TLSkyChat when our HS seniors return to walk the halls just before their graduation they always visit the library & sit in the story area. They have such happy memories of the story area.

A7 #TLSkyChat I’m on the specials schedule & I think teachers forget that I can be a resource for our curriculum. Especially when T are using crappy resources when we have ton of great ones I have made available for them.

A6 #TLSkyChat we have a great partnership w our PTA. I would love to have an open library evening for families to come to our library together. I welcome volunteers but our school district has a new volunteer screening that has scared some of our families away 😢

A4 #TLSkyChat I genrefied our fiction & I think it is going well. Hoping to reorganize our biographies before the end of the year.

#TLSkyChat Some extra fun library facts about our library added to my monthly library update & on our library classroom page plus some fun bookmarks & passive programming.

A2: We just finished our Meow Reading Madness book battle tournament & the students were all really in to it. They could vote each day in the library & on our library classroom page. It was so fun & all grades could participate.

A1 #TLSkyChat student voice & choice. I have many ways for students to request titles - including a lesson where they help me purchase books for next year.

Hi! ES librarian the week before our spring break!

#SchoolLibrary #SpringBreak We have one week of school until spring break! Wish me luck!

#Books #LibraryLove Just finished The Library Book by Susan Orlean. Fascinating nonfiction mystery & a love letter to all things library. So far one of my favorite reads this year. ❤️📚🔥🏫❓

It’s incredibly hard to be in #education right now & #librarians in TX are barely surviving. Please support your teachers & librarians! We went to school for a long time to do this job. Respect us. #schoollibrarian #library #tlsky #skybrarian #skybrarians #tiktok #springcue2026

A8 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat I have One Step Forward by Marcie Flinchum Atkins. It is about a young suffragist imprisoned for picketing the White House. It is a novel in verse & it happened near where I live. There is a museum for these women where the prison was.

A7 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat Water bottle stickers & fun erasers. I’m thinking of getting some smelly stickers for the end of the year to help get the books returned.

A6 #TLChat #SlowChat Reorganize our biographies. Saw a great example at the HS I was at this summer. No supplies needed & I’ve already made the signs for each section. Just need the time to do it.

A5 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat origami - bc 1 of our state selection was about origami & we did an origami project.

A4 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat the week before I remind them the LEAP program (that allows them to check out 3 books at the PL) wo card & highlight their spring programs/activities.

A3 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat We have audiobooks but you need a laptop. I’m in ES so most students don’t have phones. We have playaways for portable audiobook. The kids love them. I recently got a grant to purchase more so we have plenty to go around.

Q3: Audiobook Roadtrips! How are you teaching students to use Sora, Libby, or Hoopla to stay entertained during spring travel? Share A3 with #TLSkyChat Find out everything you want to know at tlskychat.com!

A1 #TLSkyChat #SlowChat I did a Gobble Up Good Books bookmarks for the Thanksgiving break. Just a boxes to check off for reading at least 30 min each day. Water bottle stickers or cute erasers were the prize.

#TLSkyChat #SlowChat A1 We don’t have spring break for a couple of weeks. I promote our public library activities. Our district has a partnership w the public library where students can check out 3 books at a time & don’t need a library card.

#SchoolLibrarians #VAASL Just spent an amazing day learning from other Virginia school librarians. Feeling so inspired! Currently reading The Library Book by Susan Orlean #LibraryLove

#Garden #NativePlants #GreensInTheLibrary I’m so excited I’m getting free native shrubs for my yard & I’m presenting at our regional library conference about going microgreens in the school library 💚🌱📚

Brilliant idea! Support our #FreedomToRead #FreePeopleReadFreely

#spring #gardening I love my mushroom path light & that it was warm enough to putter around the garden today. Still a lot to do but these light put a smile on my face.

We are having so much fun w our cat themed March book tournament (even our too cool for elementary school 6th graders)! #LibraryLove #ReadingMadness #KidLit

#SchoolLibrary #ReadAcrossAmerica Reading the Virginia Reader’s Choice selection Yuna's Cardboard Castles & making origami reading buddies this week in library.

Bad people ban book! Fight for our students’ #RightToRead

#SchoolLibrary #PictureBooks #KidLit This week’s library read aloud was There Was A Party for Langston. What a gorgeous book. Our students loved it.

#TLSkyChat Thanks for a great chat. I’m feeling inspired. Can’t wait to try out these ideas!

A8 #TKSkyChat new books in a series has really sparked interest this year - I feel like there have been a lot. It has gotten a lot of the younger kids excited about the series.

A7 #TLSkyChat I like the idea of pairing the book w a music vibe. I’ve never done that, but I’m going to give it a try. I usually book talk by the theme of the lesson. I’ve been book talking Coretta Scott King Award Books this month.

A6 #TLSkyChat I haven’t been very creative. Our students do love the scholastic book trailers. I do post on our library page coming soon books. Students are able to post in a discussion & that is usually pretty popular among our 4th-6th graders.

A5 #TLSkyChat Missing the part that will hook kids. I sometimes realized that the students are most interested in something I wasn’t highlighting in my first book talks.

A4 # Pop culture works for me. The kids are always surprised when I know about pop culture. Pusheen is popular at our school so we’re doing a Meow Madness book battle this march.

💛📚 Q4: #Trending If you had to connect a book to a current trend (music, sports, TikTok, gaming, pop culture), what would you choose? Share A4 with #TLSkyChat. tlskychat.com

A3 #TLSkyChat I love book talking spooky and mystery books. It is so fun to set the spooky tone. These are also a favorite of our students so they are usually an easy sell.

A2 #TlSkyChat I have a really hard time w books/authors I don’t enjoy. I try to find book talks from other people or the author to show the students. This happens mostly when I’m book talking some of our state books (Virginia Reader’s Choice selections).

#TLSkyChat Hi! I’m Trisha an ES librarian from Va. I’m excited for this chat bc my smart goal this year is to increase our fiction circulation.

Celebrate #CivicLearningWeek! Join Tim Smyth @historycomics.bsky.social and PBS News Classroom @pbsnews.org to learn about teaching the Constitution using comics & graphic novels 🦸🎆🦸🏽‍♀️ RSVP: bit.ly/PBS-CivicLearningWeek

❤️ my library. Was there yesterday donating books for their book sale & checking out gardening books for a presentation. Made my heart happy to see it so busy, especially the kids area pack w families reading & selecting books. #LibraryLove #PublicLibrary #Reading
