My three fave audiobooks so far this year were The Second Chance of Benjamin Waterfalls, Ex Marks the Spot, and Twenty Four Seconds from Now. Loved them all so much, and the audio defo enhanced the experience.

Proud to stand with @authorsabb.bsky.social at the #HandsOff rally in Boston today!

Sorry I missed you too, Carrie!

Ooh! I love this! So many of our patrons (high school) come in looking for this sort of thing! Thank you!

The Trump administration doesn't care about protests BUT all of the organizations, institutions, & corporations who are deciding whether or not to capitulate might. A massive showing on April 5 could show them they have more to lose long term with compliance than defiance

Totally see their influence in your work. 💖

ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year. Show Up for Our Libraries, ALA American Library Association, #ForOurLibraries

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Fabulous news! Follow @youngteenlit.bsky.social and let's get #youngteenlit books in the hands of young teen readers!

Exciting!

I've been called overqualified by having a Ph.D. and experience. Those who'd call a fantastic candidate overqualified are often looking for someone they can pay less, yes. But often they just assume and throw you out rather than asking.

So freaking proud of Boston Mayor @mayorwu.boston.gov today. This is what real leadership looks like. #boston

Boston doesn’t listen to kings.

😭😭😭

Get every single one of you on the same page and present a unified front of resistance. You can't vote in there, but you can boo.

I am reading Everything is Poison right now! Different century, but might be helpful!

I think teens do look at social media time as fun/relaxing at least some of the time (scrolling through reels etc.) but thinking about Accountable reminds me of just how damaging interaction can be to teens. #TLSkyChat

An illustrated meme featuring Taylor Swift making a heart shape with her hands. She is sitting in a red car with a "TTPD" logo on the side, driving on a road with green hills, flowers, and a blue sky with clouds and sunshine in the background. There are flames behind the car, giving the impression of speed. In the top right corner, there is a logo for "#TLSkyChat Teacher Librarian Chat," showing an open book with glasses on top and an orange coffee mug. At the bottom, white text on a black background reads: "WEDNESDAYS 5PM PT / 8PM ET.
