Elementary School Librarian

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.

I have read ALL of his books! (But this one 😀)

#Can'twait! #JasonReynolds #booksky #books

Cover of TROUBLING TONSILS! by Aaron Reynolds with art by Peter Brown. A marmot with wide eyes and a wide open mouth is surrounded by a red glow. The title is in red text in the space inside the marmot's open mouth.

Jasper Rabbit fans ready for more will love new chapter book TROUBLING TONSILS! by Aaron Reynolds w/art by Peter Brown. Readers meet Charlie Marmot, who plans to keep his tonsils in a jar after they're removed, but is it a good idea? Perfect mix of humor & horror. #kidlit 📚👍🏻
@ssedlib.bsky.social

Yes! October 14th!

Any Junie B Jones fans? My daughters refuse to read the graphic novel because they loved Junie B so much growing up (we read every book), and they say this doesn't look like her. 😀 #tlskychat #books #LaborDayreading

My weekends are for relaxing and reading! 😀

Definitely enjoying it so far!

First week of school down. Sunday reading before the chaos starts again. #Whatareyoureading? #tlskychat #skybooks #books

This is a great opportunity for school librarians! My school was one of last year’s lucky recipients and the books have been a wonderful addition to our collection. #TLSky

My current read - probably the last before u have to go back to school. So far so great! #Whatareyoureading? #tlskychat #books #skybooks #library

Saturday afternoon read
