School libraries are the buzzing hub of a school learning environment.

Does everyone know what you do? How do you tell them? We need to work on telling our stories and sharing them widely. Many have no idea what school librarians do, projects we create, and the connections we make. #aasl #schoollibrarians #shareourstories #tlsky ticklingtech.com/2026/02/01/t...

#bookbreaks4schools Thanks for creating these handouts so I can easily share with teachers (teacher room door, bathroom door, outside the library)! Spread the word! #authorvisits @ctcasl.bsky.social #brewster13library

Bidding is now open for school visits, manuscript consultations, signed books, original art & more, all to benefit immigrants & resistors in MN. I’m offering 3 virtual school visits for students of any age, from preschool through grad school, plus a bunch of signed books. bit.ly/3Z2ZPIn

A8: brings smiles to faces! #TLSkychat

A7: We had a snow day so I got to watch! A surprise Caldecott was Stalactite and Stalagmite- can’t wait to read it and my Ss were excited too! #TLSkychat

A6: Shelving. We are not set up for these littlest students. They are too tall, books don’t fit, shelves fall down and I really want shelves/bins that help books face out. 18 months til a new building - hoping the architects listen ! #TLSkychat

A5: Supporting SEL happens because I can have quiet conversations with Ss. They can share joys & concerns, interests, & more. Ss making their own book choices & choices for their free time is important & they work out issues with support as needed. #TLSkychat

A4: I always head to @jonklassen.bsky.social / #macbarnett books - Sam and Dave Dig a Hole is a favorite! #TLSkychat

A3: Balancing quiet with active is about the space. I’m lucky to have a story pit where kids go when they need a break, but having many different activities available helps too. Always art and then things that change every couple weeks. #TLSkychat

A2: I create visual schedules, have routines that my Ss know, flexible seating and after an amazing session at the @aaslala.bsky.social conference I’m working on creating story bins. #TLSkychat

A1: Student voice in my library can be seen in the opportunities Ss have to help select the books we purchase and inquiry topics we explore. #tlskychat

@ctcasl.bsky.social had such fun at our MS meetup last week! @jluss.bsky.social Let’s have another

One thing I'm still learning (and need to remind myself of often) is this: b/c the Bluesky algorithm isn't capitalism focused, engagement here doesn't work the same way it does in other spaces. We must actually REPOST content to boost it. Likes are lovely, but don't affect visibility. #tlsky #edusky
