Thank you so much!

A quote graphic set against the backdrop of swirling, layered sandstone walls inside a slot canyon, possibly Antelope Canyon. The quote is centered in white text on black rectangular overlays. It reads: "You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! Best weapons in the world! This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!" — David Tennant Below the quote, the author’s name appears on a red nameplate: David Tennant. The image is branded with a small watermark that reads quotefancy.

Promotional graphic for #TLSkyChat (Teacher Librarian Chat) featuring the topic 'Branding in the School Library.' The background is orange with a dotted pattern, and the word 'branding' is displayed in a playful multicolored font on a blue banner. Below, 'IN THE SCHOOL LIBRARY' is written in bold white capital letters. Another blue banner at the bottom provides event details: 'Join us this WEDNESDAY 5pm PT / 8pm ET.' The #TLSkyChat logo, featuring an open book, glasses, and a coffee cup, is at the top of the image.

💖✨ Excited to host Branding in the School Library for the next topic for #TLSkyChat! We’ll share how to create a cohesive library brand! Join #TLSkyChat Wed 8PM ET | 5PM! Is your library “on brand”?

Reading allows us to see and understand the world to the eyes of others. A good book is an empathy engine, Chis Riddell UK children’s laureate. An image of a girl reading a book to a little boy on a couch with lots of books around them. It is a black and white ink drawing.

A two-panel meme shows a classic format where a character must choose between two buttons, both triggering a difficult decision. - **Top Panel**: Two red buttons are shown. The left button reads, *"Stress B/C It's Only Wednesday!"*. The right button reads, *"Celebrate B/C #TLSkyChat Is Wednesday!"*. A hand hovers indecisively over the buttons. - **Bottom Panel**: The character, a red-suited superhero, is visibly sweating and wiping his forehead with a cloth, looking stressed and unsure of which button to press. - **Caption at the top**: *"THE CHOICE IS CLEAR"* (ironic, given the character's dilemma).

🖍️ Library Girl Reading Challenges: December Just for fun, I’ve started creating monthly reading challenges for readers of all ages. Here's the one for December!I started creating these reading challenges as a way to offer some examples of how we might challenge kids to read in authentic ways that center joy and fun. I hope they also help teachers and librarians build even stronger reading communities. It's been a fun project and it's been incredibly rewarding to see them being used in schools and libraries around the country (I haven't se

Back in January, just for fun, I started creating FREE monthly reading challenges/coloring sheets for readers of all ages - because both #reading and #coloring help to reduce stress. Here’s the one for December + all the others!

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, support independent booksellers with some holiday book shopping at @bookshop-org.bsky.social. And pick from our curated reading lists to support PEN America, too!

Coming soon: #Booksky Banned Book Club!

We'll read one banned/challenged book monthly and discuss on Bluesky with posts. Coordinators will provide talking points. Follow me for updates and to join. Fellow librarians, let me know if you'd like to be a coordinator.

Repost to get the word out pls.

Yes and I think it’s important for them to know that we don’t like all books because that will let them know it’s okay to stop reading a book they aren’t enjoying. I want kids to love reading and not see it as a chore.

My local Dunkin’ had this display. Love it!

Yes it is amazing to have a place to share our love for books.

What do your phone pick-ups say about you and where you give most of your attention? This is a tool I regularly check (it's buried in screen time settings) with my kids and myself to see what is grabbing our attention most and why. Here's mine from last week:
