A display of a giant white heart with smaller purple, pink, and red construction paper hearts with notes to the library taped on

A red construction paper heart with a stick figure drawing and handwritten text that reads “The library is so cool.”

A picture of our library’s “New Picture Books & Early Readers”, completely empty after today’s field trip.

Field trip day is always a great day.

Also, I am changing my name to Sillyanne. That’s the deal. That’s the rule.

Someone stop me, I'm thinking about a dissertation topic based on the multiple intelligences theory & information search behaviors of early childhood & elementary-age children.

I'm not going back for a PhD/EdD. I'M NOT.

I'm both excited, wary of, and bracing for the influx of #BookTok users coming over to #BookSky over the next few weeks. Bring it ON! #books #publibs #GLAMs #skybrarians #librarysky #tlsky #yslsky 📚 🍎

Me: I refuse to go back to school for my doctorate.
Also me: *has three different ideas for research and dissertations and contemplating how to get a dual-doctorate out of it*
Also also me: STOP THIS.

We really need a convention to revise the whole MDS system. Some parts are good and other parts are SO wildly out-of-date.

A screenshot of an integrated library system bibliographic record that displays the call number column. Different libraries have classified DK’s Arctic and Antarctic with a variety of Dewey Decimal numbers including: 597.92, 577.0911, 577, 998, and 919.8.

Ah, you gotta love* when there’s no consistency in this book’s call number (DK’s Arctic & Antarctic, for anyone wondering).

*No, you don’t. And I’m leaning towards 998 (though @librarything.com and B&T say 577.09) because it goes in depth about the area’s geography.

Yes and yes. Add teaching them about its many inaccuracies and inherent bias, racism, bigotry, ageism, among many other problems.

Can teachers also stress that they'd rather student voices, rather than that of a computer's?

This is…not at all what I was expecting.

A carpeted library floor with several photorealistic foam pads about 8 inches across, looking like a rock, orange yellow and green leaves, a slice of tree trunk, a long piece of bark.

I’m observing a music and movement preschool program and these “stepping stone” pads are new to me! Love the realistic effect when so many things for little kids are bright colors and stylized art. #YSLSky
