What a great way to increase access to diverse literature in your community! #bookaccessforall #booksky

Happy Halloween! Costumes are pretty much required in a K-5 school…may as well make it book themed. 🎃 #itsallgood #skybrarians #edusky

Just got to see Jason speak about his new book at #AASL25! If you haven’t read the Track series- it’s a must! #kidlit 📚 👍🏻

This was amazing!! Legend.

Day 2: presented with some amazing experts, met the cutest library dog ever, felt the buzz of librarians gathering and sharing ideas and love for their profession, and got to see the Gateway Arch & Mississippi River. #TLsky #AASL25 #schoollibrarians -

We love this book! There’s also a great author read aloud -en español- on TeachingBooks!

Day 1…SLC airport LEGO store delivers, met librarian & activist Amanda Jones after her presentation about writing her book, & caught a glimpse of the Gateway Arch. Looking forward to presenting with some true experts tomorrow, and getting into learning mode. #schoollibraries #tlsky #edusky

Heading to #AASL25 and couldn’t be more psyched to connect & learn with my fellow #schoollibrarians this week. #TLsky #edusky #schoollibraries #nerdconvention

Practical advice for terrible times.

Attended a great workshop at the Teton County Library yesterday to learn more about writing effective op-eds. The structure of Topic (what do I care about) / Theme (what is most important for you to know) can also be applied for elevator pitch types of convos. Have yours ready when you need it!

There are some “North Star” people for me in these times, and @librarianjones.com is one of them. She uses any well-deserved recognition to center students and lift up our profession & colleagues. She powerfully communicates the critical importance of intellectual freedom & book access for all. 👏🏻

Sooooo excited!

I read “Little Libraries, Big Heroes” by Miranda Paul & John Parra to 4th graders last week. We discussed the importance of book access, and the power of taking an idea & making it into something that creates and nourishes communities. #booksky #bannedbooksweek #bookaccessforall

I spent my day in the mountains. 10/10 no notes, though the Stellar’s Jay seems to have some thoughts.

Love Colorín Colorado & the amazing bilingual literacy resources they offer. Check out this great list of recommended reads for #hispanicheritagemonth www.colorincolorado.org/books/hispan...

👏🏻 🌈 🐶 A clear-eyed & important statement. Still in disbelief and disgust at this decision. Educators & librarians will not normalize hate. We will find a place on the shelf for everyone’s story. The children are watching. #keepspeakingup #resist #celebratediversity #edusky #skybrarians #scotus

The MN sign… 💔

A spirited crowd of 200+ patriots made their voices heard on Town Square in Jackson Hole WY today. Hope the tourists who drove by en route to our beautiful parks enjoy our public lands and remember to fight for them! #staywoke #nokings #freespeech

Loved the clarity of this conversation. I want to keep thinking about… A shift in mission and message- not freedom “from,” but freedom “to.” And…let’s imagine. Let’s dream. Let’s plan. What can we build together, what better future can we create for ourselves and next generations?

Let’s stand together against erasure & hatred. Our strength is in our diversity. #pride #representationmatters #WNDB

Trump fired the Librarian of Congress without cause! Send an email to your representative to stop Trump's attack on the Library of Congress. action.everylibrary.org/emailhayden via @everylibrary.bsky.social

In today’s edition of fresh horrors, the inexplicable firing of Carla Hayden, an incredible librarian and public servant. Ms. Hayden, we stand with you. #skybrarians

We need EVERY library advocate to raise their voice in support of library funding. Take action NOW, call Congress to #FundLibraries: bit.ly/Call2FundLibraries Time is running out to Fund Libraries next fiscal year. Congress MUST act to include libraries in the next federal budget. #ForOurLibraries

2 great mindfulness books for kids (and their grown-ups) found in our library. We’ve been reading “Breathe and Be” by Kate Coombs with 4th graders to get us through state testing this week. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #libsky #tlsky #kidlit #edusky 📚💙

Spotted today in rural Wyoming. #lovewins

Ah yes, spring ❄️ in Wyoming. #stillwaiting #patience #kidlit 📚👍🏻

Had the privilege of seeing Chanel Miller speak last week, and was able to congratulate her on the Newbery Honor Award for “Magnolia Wu Unfolds it All.” She signed our brand-new copy for our students! #booksky #skybrarians #newbery25 #authortalk 💙📚

Encouraging news from Wyoming. Terri’s continued fight for #freadom is an inspiration.

One of our students led the Pledge of Allegiance on the intercom this morning and ended it: “with therapy and justice for all.” 😆

Back to work tomorrow. Spring break was amazing, and so was this episode of Library on Lock with @mobleyinthemix.bsky.social & @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social . I’m taking #mediamindfulness straight back to my students (and self & kids) this week! #edusky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Urge your reps to fight for these services! If you’re not sure how your state uses IMLS funds for library services, look up your state library and state library associations for more info! library.wyo.gov/downloads/ls...

Keep Out! Let the honu rest. #healthyboundaries #hawaii #nature #blacksandbeach

Sending love into the world today. Grateful for this time with family in a new and miraculous place. #lovetheworld #shotsofjoy

Awestruck. This is your sign to go find some #nature and stare at it for a while.

Boop! Our sea turtles count is up to 10…they’re so magical. #honu #hawaiianwildlife

En route to a sunny place for our spring break, and am reminded once again of the awesomeness of public libraries. My Libby list is stacked, and the second book in the Between Earth and Sky series was just waiting for me to snag it! #iheartlibraries #vacationreads

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

Happy International Women’s Day. Shirt by www.thebeeandthefox.com

Peace lily bloom from a grocery store plant I picked up in the discount area a few months back. What a happy surprise. Thinking about 🇺🇦 and its people today. #peace #bulliesneverwin

This is so wonderful. Let’s bask in some beauty, shall we? On my way to school today there were ice rainbows sparkling in front of the mountains. 🌈

Having a wonderful weekend away in the Sonoran Desert, and found this amazing #freelittlelibrary at the Pinnacles Peak trailhead today. ❤️🌵📕

Proud of my WY peeps for not backing down in the face of this seriously distressing legislative session. We’ve been fighting hard, and there have been small victories to celebrate. Hateful legislation doesn’t deserve a place in the so-called #equalitystate

Favorite thing about DIA is the mini Tattered Cover Bookstore. They had #bannedbooks front & center. In news that will shock no one, I bought a book. 🤷‍♀️

Wake up. Resist. 📚 🙌

The past week felt heavy and painful. I am trying to focus on the joy of being with students, and know that each moment of education & love is an act of resistance & healing. Grateful for other voices to lift us up- the #freadomfighters have a new Substack! #edusky substack.com/@freadomfigh...

Really enjoying this professional read. The author centers literacy instruction on “happiness pillars” of Connection, Choice, Challenge, Play, Story, Discovery, Movement, and Design. It’s resonating with lots that I already do in my library classroom, and inspiring ideas for new lessons. #edusky

This is a pinnable post for the Book Bans & Libraries feed. See this Info Page to see if you can post to feed. If not (check first, thx), reply w/ "I agree with the terms" & I'll add you to the list. Feed looks for hashtags like #BannedBooks & #Freadom bsky.app/profile/debb... #BookSky

I can’t wait to see #thelibrarians. I’m so grateful for the many librarian heroes out there doing the work to ensure open and equal access to information, and am inspired by them to do the same. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie... 🧵1

Reasons you might be late for work in Wyoming…

@dwig.bsky.social hi! Good to see you here.
