This was uncomfortable to watch because it hit so close to home. As librarians, we shouldn’t have to be uncomfortable and living in fear to do our jobs. Don’t let those that want books banned to be on the winning side of history. youtu.be/ywQOCY-qDzE

I’m grateful to have participated in the TeachingAbout.AI project that shaped The Rochester Provocations.

These insights aren’t meant to provide clear answers about AI. The key takeaway for me is that this isn’t just an AI issue; it’s an education issue that AI is amplifying.

Last week I worked alongside fellow experts (do I qualify as an expert?!) to discuss AI education. Our work on Friday ended with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Strong Museum of Play. It was a great way to decompress after 3 days of intensive discussions about AI and education. #TLSky #Skybrarian

✨ Day 2 at NYSCATE 2025 and the excitement is still going strong!

Listening to Barbara Irwin, Tony Buttino, and Pam Johnson discuss how Reading Rainbow got its start in Buffalo, NY! It is great to hear how Reading Rainbow started after hearing @mychal3ts.bsky.social discuss how he got involved.

It is Banned Books Week! Unfortunately books are being challenged in 2025 like it is 1984. Everyone should have the freedom to read whatever they want! We deserve diverse books. #bannedbooksweek #freedomtoread #Skybrarian #TLSky

I presented in a tent today! @wnylrc.bsky.social Unconference at the Buffalo Naval Park! #TLSky #Skybrarian

The management team at WNYRIC held their meeting at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. We were able to take a tour with BOCES students in the New Visions Plant Science program. We also had the chance to make our own terrariums to take home!

A box of new foreign language titles came in. The growing collection has Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian titles. I’m always looking for more sources of books in other languages. Share your favorite! #foreignlanguages #reading #TLSky #Skybrarian

Books and musicals, my two favorite things.

Bob says it’s National Read a Book Day! Take a break from your busy day and enjoy a book! Pick a new book or read an old favorite! #nationalreadabookday #weekendreading #TLSky #Skybrarian

The first week of school (for some) is over! What was it like for you in your library this week? If your library were a movie, what would the title be, and what would happen during the first week?

In the city for work! Stopped by the NYPL on my way back from dinner. Renewed my library card while I was at it! Did you know that any New York State resident can get a NYPL library card?! #TLSky #Skybrarians

There were some great community connections made and I can’t wait for next year’s conference!
