Congress? You awake?
Book #2 of summer break and I'm having a hard time putting this one down! I love @katemessner.com books! #TLChat #summerreading #schoollibrarian
I'm currently listening to this one and I love it!
A7: Think about the Carnegie libraries of the past - and how impactful they were. My mom was raised in one - and I'm a reader/librarian because of her. The future of libraries is human-centered; we need these palaces for the ppl more than ever; I hope more people GET LOUD for libraries #TLSKyChat
I just got this book in my library this week!!!! #TLSkyChat
A7: I have had DAs tell me that we won't need libraries in the future because everything will be done online and I've begged to disagree with them. We need the human connection that is found in our libraries! #TLSkyChat
Very valid point! Thank you for chiming in! #TLSkyChat
A7: I hope we never lose the value of reading aloud to our students. This is something I refuse to give up in my elementary library classes. We get into such great conversations reading picture books! #TLSkyChat
A6: I am promoting everything we do on my library Facebook page. We just finished up an Iditarod unit and I had my students create sleds of their own out of Legos. They LOVED this! #TLSkyChat
Do you find that the students are actally reading the books they're checking out or just checking them out to see the number go up? #TLSkyChat
A5: A stereotype I'd like to get rid of is that the library needs to be a quiet place. While it is at times, it's also a buzzing, busy place as well and Iove hearing my students excited about things we're doing! #TLSkyChat
I know! I've never heard of these so I'm going to have to do some looking into this!
A3: I had my 5th graders do some book spine poems with their names! Kind of a cross between an acrostic name poem using book titles! #TLSkyChat #emma
A2: I'm also doing a March Madness Bracket with picture book characters and my kids can't wait to come in each week to see how is moving on! #TLSkyChat
A2: One of the biggest promotions for reading this year in my library has been the reading/coloring challenges from @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social! My kids have literally eaten them up! Check out all the completed challenges on my March bulletin board!
#TLSkyChat A1: After being diagnosed with a seizure disorder my junior year in college, my neurologist felt that my English teaching major may not be the best for my health. I ended up with a library science minor which lead me to my MLIS and the rest is history! Everything happens for a reason!
And I that you do that! My students were so excited to see the cupcakes on this month's challenge! #TLSkyChat

Loving The Glass Sentence on our day off of school, reading by the fire! #TLSky #Books #librarians
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.

The Glass Sentence book cover
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
