Check it out, librarian friends! I got to chat with the illustrious Steve Tetreault @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social! Give it a listen. π #Skybrarians #TLSky
#AASL25 was a blast! It always renews me as a librarian. Seeing national friends, going to fabulous sessions, and having amazing keynotes really raises the PD bar for me. Oh, and @mamagilbs.bsky.social and I presented two well-received sessions, too! Feeling like a rockstar heading home. π₯°
#AASL25 was over too fast! So many new ideas and great connections with the library community from all over the country. Do I really have to go back to the real world? π«
"I'm just trying to be honest about me and about us, so that maybe someone can feel a little more free." - @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social at #AASL25
"That troublemaker kid in class--that's your leader. You have to pour into every kid." - @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social at #AASL25
Thank you, sir, for helping highlight those kids who too often are pressed into the shadows.
"Writing is play. It is my playground, and more kids might write if we treated it that way." - @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social at #AASL25 ππ»ππ»Preach!
"I want to know who you are when no one is looking." - @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social at #AASL25
Yes! Show me your true self. Let's make it safe to be vulnerable and weird with each other.
So excited to learn from @mamagilbs.bsky.social @rgrov1013.bsky.social presenting about passive programming in the school library for teens today at #AASL25

I was chosen as a KQ blogger this year! I've been wanting to for a long time, and I'm excited to be doing it alongside @rgrov1013.bsky.social. I can't wait to see what we each put out into the world.
Here is my debut blog. Enjoy reading about becoming a learner again! π #TLSky #Skybrarians
I get it. Libraries are expensive, and librarians are expensive. Our students & future leaders need all of the information literacy, media literacy, and opportunities to read deeply and widely they can get. Curriculum won't save us, testing won't, & AI sure as Hell won't. Fund libraries. #TLSkyChat
This article has some great takeaways abt teens' media literacy for librarians and educators. My takeaway: the power of peer fact checking
