#EduSky #TLsky We are so excited to be having Wendelin Van Draanen visting us next school year, and so I've been reading more of her books. Here is one from a while ago, but still just as good as all her books! booksinthemiddlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

#EduSky #TLsky A new title by Tracey Baptiste - check out this booktalk podcast: booksinthemiddlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

#EduSky #TLSky Just had this article published. Check it out for ways librarians can connect with their multilingual learners and also what formats can best support them. @thorndikepress.bsky.social www.edutopia.org/article/welc...

Here is something I don't do much of - a booktalk of a graphic novel - but I think it works! Share with your students, because it is a really good book, and timely. booksinthemiddlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

Book swag from @thorndikepress.bsky.social & @tasquires.bsky.social Large print is a game changer for readers! #irc2025

My 7th grade teachers are doing a unit on #edusky #TLSky #futurereadylibs Social Media and here is one of the books that their students can pick to read. booksinthemiddlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

#edusky #TLSky #futurereadylibs Note to publishers and to authors: Can you please write books for middle school kids? Not MIDDLE GRADE - because those are aimed at 3 - 5, maybe 6th grade. I need books that are NOT for that young, but NOT for high school. Please.

#edusky #TLSky #futurereadylibs #tlchat If you liked Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt, here is the sequel to it. This booktalk for middle school students and 299 others can be found here! booksinthemiddlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

#edusky #TLSky #futurereadylibs #tlchat I'm about to post my 300th middle school booktalk podcast on Monday, January 6, 2025! I can't believe that I have done so many booktalks! I hope you will take a listen when it comes out! www.buzzsprout.com/229361

#TLSky #skybrarians Looking for a book for your students in middle school? Check this one out! booksinthemiddle.wordpress.com/2024/12/09/t...

Looking for a book set in the not too distant future about a time when Muslim Americans are rounded up? Here is a great story for your 8th grade and up students. www.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

It’s incredible to me how many folks haven’t heard about the surge in censorship or the attacks on librarians. We all need to stand ready to educate.

#FutureReadyLibs I started rethinking how I view large print after having a conversation with a student at my school. It led me down a rabbit hole. Here is a student I recorded a few years ago. Check out the difference in her reading. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv9v...

Not sure how many of you middle school librarians have a large print collection, but I would challenge you to seriously consider putting one together. I have found large print books to be incredibly important for my students in allowing accessiblity for all readers.

Looking for books to share with your middle school students? It can be hard, I know! Check out my blog with around 700 book reviews just for middle school kids (6th grade to 8th grade) and find books to get kids reading! booksinthemiddle.wordpress.com

Really great Science Fiction book on what it means to be you! Great for your 8th graders. www.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...

Excited to be here! Now I need to build up my contacts in this new space. I'm a middle school librarian looking to connect with others who share a passion for connecting students with books they will love!

#FutureReadyLibs Super excited to be trying out this new platform that will hopefully become a great place to share and learn about libraries and helping students connect with books! Here is my latest booktalk to share with your middle school students! www.buzzsprout.com/229361/episo...
