We are getting ready to celebrate #ReadAcrossAmerica with our Paws for Reading Week! We're teaming up with our local humane society as well to help them with their fundraiser, Pennies for Pounds! #TLSky #Librarians

My Top Ten Ai Tools of 2025 - #Aied #EduSkyAi #TLSky open.substack.com/pub/elissama...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

"School libraries are the best. I grew up spending most of my time in them. I really depended on librarians to guide me, and I am forever in their debt." —Julianne Moore #TLSky mrschureads.blogspot.com/2013/11/chil...

Registration is open for the FREE Canva Librarians and Teachers Winter Virtual Showcase! All registrants will receive session recordings. #Canva #TLSky #EduSky

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Fire raging in the stove, wood brought in, groceries secured for the weekend, and the Ranger/plow are ready to go! I started this book earlier this week and it will be the perfect weekend to read by the stove! #TLSky #Librarians #reading

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

My tulips love the new soil and water I gave them last night! Simply beautiful! #tulips #spring #flowers

Just for fun, I create FREE monthly reading challenges/coloring sheets for readers of all ages b/c both #reading & #coloring help reduce stress. You can download the February updates here! Happy reading AND coloring, y’all! #TLSkyChat #TLSky #EduSky #Skybrarians

Social media is a lot right now. Don’t forget to read a book and escape too.

Congratulations, @kaaauthor.bsky.social and @charlessantoso.bsky.social!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winter is one of my favorite times of the year! ❄️

It has been a GREAT week for books in our school library! #TLSky #librarians #schoollibrarian

Zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights when Dems were in charge.

@jenniferlagarde.bsky.social Check out the adorable snowmen my readers have colored! Again, I can't thank you enough for these! #TLSky #Librarians

A2: I've definitely MacGyvered some book repair jobs! They weren't pretty but they held the book together! #TLSkyChat

Q1: I like to think of myself as a connector. I may not know the answer, but I can figure out a solution, make a connection to someone who does know, gather the resources no matter how random to make it happen #TLSkyChat

A1: Librarians can do anything with very limited resources and we're commended on that! #TLSkyChat

Join @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social and @techielibgrl.com TOMORROW on 😍Wednesday for 🔦🧰MacGyvering Librarianship! ✂️⚒️🔨 Let's share some low/no cost ways ot creating ✨magical✨ library spaces and programming. #TLSkyChat #TLSky #EduSky #KidLit #TLChat #Skybrarians #SchoolLibrarians

I'll be carrying this moment from #TheReadersHeart w/me for a long time. I rarely say that I think *everyone* should read a book, but I feel that way about @dashkaslater.bsky.social's Accountable. Find our convo wherever you listen to #podcasts. Show notes+other goodies here. #tlsky #kidlit #edusky

Kathy Schmidt and I made these to help with TikTok withdrawal- feel free to use them to promote libraries and reading. #TLSky #EduSky #TikTok #Libraries #Books

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

I need to put this book on my TBR list along with these Lego kits! How cool!

Two of my favorite picture books from 2024 that I hope get some #Caldecott love. My students and I absolutely loved these books! #TLSky #librarians

A3: I find schedule to be the biggest barrier in my library. I am the only person in a 4K-12 library. I don't have an aide. When I have elementary classes, MS/HS students can't come to do anything but self-checkout because there is no supervision in my room for them. #TLSkyChat

A2: While students in a wheelchair can get through my library doors, there aren't any buttons for them to push to get into the library, so they have to knock on the doors so I hear them or have another student open the door for them. #TLSkyChat

A2: I know that some of my shelving is too tall. #TLSkyChat

A1: A space that students feel comfortable coming to where they feel welcome, respected and seen. #TLSkyChat

Jen Malphy from Wisconsin where I'm a 4K-12TL in a small, rural school. Love my job! #TLSkyChat

Biden: "In four years, the economy created 16.6 million new jobs, the most in any single presidential term. We've created jobs every single month I was in office ... the economy I'm leaving is the best in the world."

I shared The Leaf Thief with my students last fall and The Snow Thief with them this past week. They love these books! #TLSky #librarians

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.

@jenniferlagarde.bsky.social One of my Kindergarten students brought in his completed January challenge and told me how he used his brand new art set he got for Christmas to color it. He said he used every single color for it! 😍 #TLSky
