So true! Connection is so key. Love it!! #TLSkyChat

A8: This graphic novel series is not the newest, but it has been THE hot ticket this school year! #TLSkyChat

I feel you...some people call me Type A and sometimes other words. I just cannot help it. I am a VIRGO through and through. #TLSkyChat

A7: Here is a video about the hub if interested www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgO2... #TLSkyChat

A7: To be honest I am really really really consistent with my Google Calendar. if it is not in the calendar it does not exist. I also use a Hub in Sheets. I had the idea from @mrshowell24.com when she presented at ISTE a few years ago. It is simple and easy to do. I love me a spreadsheet!

For new staff I would also do a folder with all the stuff in it (and a treat!) that would be helpful. New staff are all ripe for collaboration!! #TLSkyChat

You always can go at your own pace #TLSkyChat

A6: I would even put Toilet Talk or the like in the Staff Bathroom. #TLSkyChat

You are fine! We do try to post the questions at least 24 hours ahead of time on www.tlskychat.com #TLSkyChat if that is helpful

We are so unique in that it sometimes feels like we are in a constant state of advocacy to show our value and where we fit. #TLSkyChat

💛📚Q6 is LIVE!💛📚 Q6: 🤝 What is your go-to collaboration tip for connecting with teachers in September? What do you do to educate teachers on what you can offer? Drop your A6 & share your ideas! 🎉 #TLSkyChat For more information visit: tlskychat.com

So true @reyeh.bsky.social We do have expertise that we so want to share. I would also do things like a menu for teachers that included items that I could do. Like lessons on a particular topic, things that were quick, longer, etc. #TLSkyChat

🚨 1-Minute Warning! 🚨 Q6 is coming so get ready to jump in and share your A6! #TLSkyChat

Truer words were never spoken. It is really hard. There are a lot of assumptions about what a librarian is and is not. Ts were shocked when I told them I had to take the same teacher tests they did. #TLSkyChat

Sometimes that is all you need. I also found it was a great reminder to the teachers as well. So not only was it an orientation for the Ss but all those that brought them. I would actually shift which class I did it in each year. Even MATH! #TLSkyChat

I had not seen that one. I love that site. I am so sharing this one out with my collegues. #TLSkyChat

A4: Several of my colleagues really like doing breakouts for those classes that have heard the normal orientation at least once. Getting the students up and about is definitely ideal. #TLSkyChat

💛📚Q4 is LIVE!💛📚 Q4: 🗺️ How do you handle library orientation to set the right tone and vibe for the school year? Drop your A4 & share your ideas! 🎉 #TLSkyChat For more information visit: tlskychat.com

The pencil is perfection! #TLSkyChat

🚨 1-Minute Warning! 🚨 Q4 is about to drop! Stay tuned & get ready to share your thoughts! 🚀📚 #TLSkyChat

That is so fun! Luv it!! #TLSkyChat

A3: I have to say that giving Ss opportunities to connect with board games and the like has been helpful. I also moved my desk to the center of the room to make it more approachable when monitoring study halls. I would also walk around during study halls and be in the hallway during passing times.

🙏. I am almost at 1K followers (1 more to go) so if anyone out there is on Tiktok would love a follow. Shameless plug sorry. I just want to be able to put a link on my account. Sigh.... #TLSkyChat www.tiktok.com/@techielibgrl

A2: Interactive bulletin boards are my fav! I am not in a library daily not as I do PD for Librarians, but I shared some fun displays recently in BSky and Tiktok. [Demon Hunters](bsky.app/profile/tech...] FB Group to checkout is the Library Bulletin Boards and Displays #TLSkyChat

Ya NYS passed it for this school year #TLSkyChat

OH MY GOSH! That is soooooo exciting. What is your presentation on? #TLSkyChat

I was so excited too! It is great to be back!! #TLSkyChat

That is awesome. I found when I genrefied it really improved circulation a ton. I hope that is the case for you #TLSkyChat

💛📚Q2 is LIVE! 💛📚 Q2: 📸 Show us your favorite back-to-school library display! What inspired it? Drop your A2 & share your ideas! 🎉 #TLSkyChat For more information visit: tlskychat.com

Oh wow! You are going to AASL! That is so exciting. Our schools have been dealing with a #nocellphone policy during the school day. It has been interesting #TLSkyChat
