On only my second year of opening two libraries, I have such a tremendous respect for those folks serving multiple sites. I will do my best and let the needs in front of me dictate my time and energy, but I wish it could be different. Our students deserve better. 😔 #TLSky #Skybrarians

Processing new titles makes me so happy when I get to save them for specific students. Watching their faces light up with joy when I hand them a requested title NEVER gets old! #TLSky #Schooibraries #Skybrarian

This fantastic book is helping me shape our opening lessons for 4th and 5th grade about reading habits. The humor will get their attention. Can't wait to read this with students! @joannahowrites.bsky.social @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social @dansantat.bsky.social #KidLit #TLSky #Skybrarians

Huh. Go figure. The folks trumpeting how much AI is going to save companies were - gasp! - wrong! But they're probably right that we need to push it into schools. Yeah, that should be fine. #AIIsTheProblem #TLSky #EduSky www.techspot.com/news/109148-...

“I stay away from the word folklore, because that makes it not real. Stories are the most human thing we can do.” -Eric Hemenway #kidlit #tlsky

Our assistant superintendent asked Angeline Boulley if we could change one things about public schools, what would it be? She said, “Well, first of all, the athletic budget should be the same as for libraries.” #schoollibraries #skybrarian

So proud of our district to bring in Angeline Boulley to talk writing and celebrating Indigenous experiences for our opening PD. We have received a state grant which includes over 30,000 books written by Native authors for libraries and classrooms.

"Now if you are a novice... you may be puzzled and not know what is so wrong about that [AI] ‘definition’ in the screenshot above. This is the crux. For experts it is obvious!" THIS. This is why AI in schools is a MAJOR problem! #TLSky #EduSky #SchoolLibrarians #SchoolLibrary #AIIsTheProblem

I think the best book to give a young reader is the book you think *they* are going to genuinely like. With fiction, I firmly believe focusing on reading great books is less important than becoming a person who thinks of reading as pleasurable.

Over on Reddit someone is asking for science fiction for their precocious young reader and the people there are suggesting books that were old when that kid's grandparents were the same age as the kid, for fuck's sake if you didn't know any SF books from this millennium maybe sit this question out

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

THE LIBRARY OF UNRULY TREASURES is very different from the Penderwicks books, but every world Jeanne Birdsall creates and every word she writes is pure joy. 📚👍🏻

A beauty, kid-friendly, fun, touching, and there’s just the barest hint of bittersweetness at its core. In short, the perfect summer picture book. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2025/08/07/r...

reading update! BLETCHLEY RIDDLE is nominated for NH's youth fiction award, and it was such a fun read that I thought I'd knock some more kids historical off the TBR. My mom's family lived near Lizzie Borden, so that was neat. I absolutely loved MAX IN THE HOUSE OF SPIES, fantastic writing. 📚👍

We're summer dreaming about what we'd love to have written and published. MSers want to read the books below, but some may not be developmentally ready for the content (since it was written for an older audience). We would love to see #youngteenlit comparable to the following. #tlsky #skybrarians

Inspired by the work of Boston artist Allan Rohan Crite, I developed a lesson plan for Jacqueline Woodson''s The World Belongs to Us. We will be looking closely at the image to identify how we can play together in ways that help everyone feel included, respected, and safe. #TLSky #Skybrarians
