One of our ELL students speaks Russian and she brought a book from home for cozy read day in the library! @danpoblocki.bsky.social I immediately recognized the cover and it resulted in a great conversation with her classmates. ❤️ Books for the win! #authors

Very sad 6th grader: Mrs. Silwani! All the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Books are out! There’s nothing to read! Me: Oh buddy, I’ve got you covered. ⬇️ Dav Pilkey, he is hooked! Huge thanks to you and @jeffkinney.bsky.social for books that keep my middle schoolers reading. ❤️ #authors #oomslibrary

#booksky book suggestion time! “The Mona Lisa Vanishes” by Nicholas Day & illustrated by Brett Helquist is a perfect mix of mystery, biography, history, & nonfiction. While this book is for middle grade and above, adults will love it too. I can’t keep it on our shelves at school. I loved it!

I turned the tables on my classes today and had them do the book talks instead of me. All volunteers. They loved it and of course everyone wanted the books their peers talked about.

Someone once asked me what they could do to help school librarians battle book bans and attacks. My best advice was this…help spread the word far and wide about all the wonderful things happening in your child’s school library. We must tell our story. 💕📚

Last month, I shared a post commemorating my coming out as gay. Every year, I acknowledge the occasion, and this year, it was particularly meaningful. If you missed my essay and have a few minutes, I hope you’ll take the time to read and perhaps share it. theauthorvillage.com/phil-bildner...

These numbers cracked me up! Maybe I should play the lottery? Friday’s checkout number. Monday’s number. Maybe I should give candy to the first kid that checks out this morning. ❤️

Being a middle school librarian, I often find interesting things in returned books, like this note. Wise words and a good reminder for any middle schooler. ❤️ #oomslibrary

I just realized my TBR pile matched the color of my nails. Coincidence? 🤣 And yes I know I’m late to the party reading these. Sorry. @nathanhale.bsky.social @lisayee.bsky.social @kellyyang.bsky.social

Finished the first 2 books of 2024 & of course loved them! Two very different stories. “The Marvellers” by @dhonielle.bsky.social is an incredible & engaging fantasy story. “Apocalypse Taco” by @nathanhale.bsky.social is a wild science fiction ride. Get both, read both, & share them both widely!

After Covid shut us down in 2020, I decided that moving forward, instead of a new year’s resolution I’d pick a word that will guide me through the year. For 2024 my word is hopefulness. I will have hope that we make it to 2025 better, stronger and more at peace than we are now. ❤️☮️

Not feeling my best, head cold or something (- Covid test), but my hubby knows that watching my favorite holiday movie will make me feel better. ❤️ This is my favorite scene. “8 is a lot of legs, David.” 🤣 #loveactually

I decided to make the TBR pile that’s in my head, visual. They are piled in no particular order but the two standing are the ones I’m currently reading. Yes, at the same time. 🤣 Not sure if I can finish all of these in 2 weeks but I’m going to have fun trying.
