Elementary School Librarian

Let Thanksgiving Break begin! I picked up 10 books and audiobooks from the public library, and I'm ready to go! Currently reading this one (finished the previous two. Lol) @chrisgrab.bsky.social @dallaslibrary.bsky.social #tlskychat #skybooks #booksky

A6: I have a library budget and book fairs and donors choose, but if that's not an option, games from home, donations, etc #tlskychat

A8: Start small but do it! It'll be fun! #tlskychat

A3: yes, help me with this because it can get nosy. Lol #tlskychat

A2: Many of my games involve thinking, constructing, working together, math, etc, so it's easy to see that they are educational. :) #tlskychat

A1: Lego and this thing here that you build and use a marble to roll down your creation #tlskychat

Light blue background with white and blue graphic that reads 2026-2027 TEXAS BLUEBONNET NOMINEE with book cover THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES, showing a middle school boy with an orange backpack standing on a mountain summit with a Bernese mountain dog looking up at him. Below is a graphic showing small thumbnails of 20 books with a red outline of Texas and text in blue "2026-2027 List"

Holy smokes - thank you, Texas librarians!!! I couldn't be more thrilled that THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES has been named to the 2026-2027 Texas Bluebonnet Award List! And in such incredible company, too - congrats to all of the authors & illustrators!

Here's the full list: txla.org/news/2026-20...

One day I'll get to hear him too🤞🏽

#Whatareyoureading this weekend? Me? I'm listening to the amazing #GuyLockard read #Coach by #JasonReynolds #tlskychat #skybooks #booksky

A2: The New Kid by Jerry Craft. Worth it because it called attention to a healthy, loving Black family adjusting through awkwardness of middle school. It's worth protecting b/c it was a mirror for Black kids and NOT a trauma-vampire story for our culture. #TLSkyChat

Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Didn't see the interview yet. Didn't want any "spoilers" lol. It's definitely tough to read because of the outcome, but she does give a lot of thoughts and feelings and details about each step of the prep. Interesting stuff to me.

It definitely is tough to hear.

Hey! I'm NaKeisha, librarian in Dallas. Glad to be here. #tlskychat

A1: I love biographies. So interesting learning about people's lives. Currently reading this.
