AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

My amazing Library Practice students designed an effective display promoting Squid Game read-alikes.

Commiseration and Celebration for my National Board Certification cohort at my school. We all had at least some good news to celebrate, and determination to persevere in the year ahead.

Participation in my library winter reading challenge was low last year. This year, I’m trying to make it super accessible and more student driven. Students pick between 1 to 13 activities to complete. If they complete even one, I consider that a success.

Library book club win: Ss had such fun w/ my “White Elephant” activity. Books were wrapped, w/ only a blurb to guide their choices. A student chose one, unwraps to reveal, & picks the next person to choose. Books can be “stolen” once unwrapped up to 3x. Everyone was happy at the end. #EduSky

Achieved my National Board Certification as a Library Media Specialist. ‘Twas a long journey, and I’m thankful to reach this milestone. #EduSky #Skybrarian #SchoolLibrarian #IAmAnNBCT #NBCTStrong @NBPTS

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. School librarian: This cup is perfect for dynamic shelving with several front-facing books!

Paper airplane contest in the library today!

@davidramon.bsky.social hi! Good to see you on here!

Wins for the day: 1. Aviation History Month 2-part lesson: a participatory reading of Jack Knight’s Brave Flight in which students waved “puppets” of his obstacles at the relevant parts of the story, followed by paper-airplane making and throwing

School librarians and educators (and everyone else): this is such a clarion call to action as well as offering some peace amidst the emotional tumult we face. Highly recommended to sit and reflect with this piece. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

My library makers are fascinated with this character right now. Who is it? What’s it from? I know they told me, but my exhausted teacher brain couldn’t hold on to it. But it’s okay if IDK. Just keep supporting their builds w/ enthusiasm. ✅ (& asking them if I can post pics delights them)

6th graders on first visit to library: we can build LEGOs? Me: yep 6th graders: we can play these games? Me: yep 6th graders: you have manga? Me: sure do! 6th graders: how many books can I check out today? Me: how many can you fit in your backpack? 6th graders: *squeee* I LOVE THIS LIBRARY

Our Winter Reading Challenge is underway! Complete 5 or more activities by Jan 9! Game cards available in the library.

This session was chockful of goodness! Ideas galore. Check it out.

Getting so much goodness out of Edcamp Cardigan already, and it's not even 8:00am! Thank you, @zbrarian.bsky.social @thenextgenlib.bsky.social @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social and Melissa Corey! Thank you, Kristina Holzweiss, for organizing! And what a hoot to see a shout-out to one of my resources!

Today I hosted the first-ever Cozy Reading Extravaganza. Will not be our last! (No videos on BlueSky???? I have the cutest video to show you.)

First LEGO Lunch of the year today in my school library. Theme: favorite part of your summer break. One kid built a bed. I felt that in my soul.

Here I am, Blue Sky! Ready to connect with educators, librarians, writers, readers, creatives, and other people doing and sharing!
