The post below was from months ago. Here is my updated book truck covered in graphic novel panels for my middle school library.

Yesterday I saw Tim Smyth talk about using comics and pop culture in the classroom (for me it would be in the library). I love when teachers find way to get kids to love reading! @historycomics.bsky.social

My students started a @phillies.com Rubik's Cube mosaic today! It's going to be a beautiful ##RedOctober! Hopefully, they will finish it tomorrow!

My students used 195 Rubik's Cubes to make this new mosaic in our library! #RubiksCube

I'm catching up on the summer School Library Journal. Where are the middle-grade books? Why is a book for students in grades 2-5 listed as #MGlit? My middle school students need books! @slj.com

Where are my school librarians? I want my kids to be able to make collections in Destiny? Pros and cons? Here is a #library cart I'm slowly covering in graphic novel panels for tax. #librarian

Who is getting ready for back to school? As soon as I think I'm finished, I think of something to add.

I thought this beautiful fox was in my backyard because she wanted to play with my fat little dog. Now I know that she just wants directions to the closest library like this fox in London! www.standard.co.uk/news/london/... #library #Twickenham

Who is ready to go back to the Revolutionary War with Laurie Halse Anderson? Here is my review of Rebellion 1776. Read the review and order the book (or skip the review and just order the book). Excellent MG historical fiction! www.instagram.com/p/DLtBP31xVE...

I found this at a thrift store. I think it will be perfect for my library! #thrifting #library

End-of-year library stats! How many @alangratz.bsky.social books are in your school's top 5? #MGbooks #reading #Top5

We checked out almost 20,000 library books this year. Now we have to try to get them all back! Librarian, what magic do you use to get books back?

Newest and largest Rubik's Cube mosaic. It's 195 Cubes! My students built it in 4 days! #RubiksCubeMosaic #Library

Look at this beautiful stack of books that someone dropped off at my library. She said her daughter outgrew them and wanted someone to read them. 📚 💕

Expository nonfiction display went up today, and about half of the books were picked off of it! My middle school kids love to read! #library #booksky #nonfiction

If your school has a super exciting loud event, consider opening the library as a calming station. We did this on Friday, and the kids were so happy to have somewhere quiet to refocus. #library

My students made a library book for my middle school library out of Rubik's Cubes. How cool is that! #library

It feels like spring today. Is it time to put away the library winter birds and to switch Yoda from his Eagles shirt to the Phillies one?

Look at this beautiful Demco book display shelf in my library. Now I need Canva signs for the top. Any ideas? #edsky #library #books

My algorithm is still off. I'm looking for my librarians and book people. In my library, we do cool things like making this Rubik's Cube mosaics. This is our @Eagles love mosaic.

Eagles and Wawa in my middle school library! Drinking my carmel coffee and talking to kids about books and the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social game! #gobirds

We have a FID (flexible instruction day) tomorrow because of an ice storm. I'm going to post info on our eBooks and audiobooks. We need to teach kids that audiobooks count as reading! #books

Where are the middle grade books? My 6-8th graders don't want to read the upper elementary books that they read in 4th grade. Most YA is for grades 9+. They are really stuck in the middle. #mgBooks #kidlit

Here is the @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social logo that my students made out of 183 Rubik's Cubes. #FlyEaglesFly #Eagles

To encourage students to use the IDs to check out library books, I put up a Demco Stick Together poster in my #library.

Here are the last nine middle grade books that I read. #mglit #library
