I also never read adult lit! Guess they need to put kidlit author names on there to get me!

I fully agree! And my school is like 40% Latino so it’s very hard

Unless they’re dreams! 😂 I always dream that I have a great idea for a story or wake up and think it was a great idea for a story until I realize it doesn’t make any sense.

Buffalo Fluffalo was one of our finalists in a previous March Book Madness!

A March Madness-style bracket featuring 16 picture books.

Congratulations to the winner of our March Book Madness bracket, Don't Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson and @dansantat.bsky.social!

It was so fun! This is my favorite novel I’ve written.

For me, I’ll do the humor and also most of the story takes place in one day like mine.

Yes! I still truly have no idea how librarians can embrace genAI (and I’m a librarian!)

a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.

a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States.

a blue graphic with red and white text that reads: Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.

Yesterday, HR 7661 passed the markup stage in committee, & will now be sent to the House of Representatives for a full vote.

It seeks to ban from every public school any book w/ “sexually oriented material.” Including books that involve “gender dysphoria or transgenderism.”

This one is really easy! Just fill out the form, get your congressperson's phone number and read the script.

Call your House Rep today and ask them to oppose HR 7661 and to support local control. ⬇️

Tell your representative to oppose H.R. 7661. The House Committee on Education and Workforce has advanced H.R. 7661. This bill threatens to block funding promised to schools in order to give politicians the power to censor school materials based on ideology. Unite Against Book Bans.

Rather than supporting government censorship, Congress should invest in literacy education. The Right to Read Act (S.3365/HR 2889) offers a better path to support children, parents, and educators.

The Right to Read Act:: Supports well-staffed and well-resources school libraries; strengthens evidence-based literacy instructions; and protects library workers. Tell your Representative to vote NO on HR 7661 and to support the Right to Read Act instead!

On March 17th, a House Committee voted in favor of H.R. 7661, a book banning bill using a vague definition of “sexually oriented” materials. Tell your Representative to oppose H.R. 7661 and support the right to read: app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-page

'Dangerous' bill inviting government censorship passes House committee The American Library Association condemns the March 17, 2026, passage of H.R. 7661 by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

ALA is disappointed that the House Committee on Education & Workforce moved forward dangerous federal book banning legislation yesterday. HR 7661 contains vague, confusing, and overly broad language, inviting government censorship.

🚨Advocacy alert!🚨
The Maryland department of ed wants to remove the language that requires a certified library media specialist in every school. Please sign this petition c.org/79xMdczqRM and/or email Dr. Brewer at literacy.msde@maryland.gov by March 9. Thank you!

Agree, but still some weeks are hard!

That is so cute! Sad my kids are too old to get a book like that!

This is me but I’ve been critiquing instead of writing so I guess that’s something

This was incredibly helpful! Thank you @dangemeinhart.bsky.social!

I recently took a writing webinar with Dan about first chapters through @mgwg.bsky.social so of course I had to read one of his books!

Mrs. Whitney is #currentlyreading The Enchanted Hour by Meghan Cox Gurdon. I don't usually read non-fiction, but this was for a class and I found it very interesting. Not only that, it gave me some new ideas both at home and at work!

This is exactly what I want to say but put way more eloquently.

YES! This is exactly what I'm trying to say, but you said it way better! This is precisely the problem.

Mrs. Whitney's year in books 2025 featuring the covers of 30 books on bookshelves

Welcome back and happy new year! I read 30 books in 2025. Which of these titles did you read?

I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got this cool #Canva template!

If no one takes them, I donate them to our local library bookstore.

This one really doesn't bother me the way other memes do. 🤷‍♀️

We host a book swap at the end of the year. We collect donations and then students can all get the same number of books to keep, regardless of how many they donated.
