I love the public/school library collaboration.

Could you share a little more about this unit? I love this idea.
This is so interesting. I have questions. What is a Chips & Chat? What is the Reading Link team? What kind of library project are you doing with the flour, yeast, and cream?
Ugh! Where are you? I thought it was bad in Maryland at 30 degrees.
That’s the same exact look my beagle gives me after a bath!
He looks kind of annoyed with you
This looks like a really sweet book! I have so many animal lovers at my school who would fight over it.
Looking forward to listening.
We all need one sometimes! Would love to add this book to my school’s collection.
The House with 100 Stories by Toshio Iwai is now ours & will be used w/ Ks for a design challenge. Ss will learn paper techniques to construct their own towers, w/ an outside elevator that moves. Thanks @afcea_cmd for the Kickstarter grant! #KidLit #STEMed #librarian #schoollibraries
So excited to have new copies of Skyscraper by
Jorey Hurley to use with a preschool design challenge. After listening to the story, Ss will design & build the tallest structure they can. Thanks @afcea_cmd for the Kickstarter grant! #KidLit #STEMed #librarian #schoollibraries
So sweet. I need to figure out how to adapt it for a weekly library class. Maybe I can figure out how to integrate with their language arts class!
Is this part of a book? Why have I not purchased this book for my library?
Can you tell us more about your readers theater unit?
Thanks to a AFCEA grant, I got 2 new classroom copies of Dragons Love Tacos by @rubingo.bsky.social to use with a preschool design challenge. After listening to the story, Ss will design & build a taco (not spicy of course) in case a dragon comes to visit. #TLSky #KidLit #STEMed #librarian
What grades does your library serve?
Dear picture book authors and illustrators, would you like to be considered as the Global Read Aloud choice for 2025?
If you have 6 or more pbs, either as a writer or an illustrator, please reach out via dm or here.
If you don't know what the GRA is, see here theglobalreadaloud.com/for-authors/
Looking forward to checking these out!
The Key School was awarded a $2K grant from AFCEA of Central Maryland to buy books that promote interest in STEM-related disciplines. The books will provide context for engineering design challenges & other multidisciplinary project-based units. #STEMed #makered #schoollibraries #TLSky
Yay! Thank you.
So excited to have @mnewsome.bsky.social read Sydney's Big Speech to our 1st graders on World Read Aloud Day February 5! #TLSky #skylibrarians #schoollibrary
I so agree.
Does anyone have recommendations of good books on animals, conservation or nature? Please feel free to comment :)

So sweet!
Love this idea to promote a reading culture.
What is a silent book club? How old are the students?
Too bad. Your dynamic shelving advice has transformed my school library.
What age are the kids?
Woohoo! Would love to have them for our school library!
So impressed with your curriculum. I bet it helps save a life.
