Hey #YouthLibs and #Skybrarians, have you applied for a Dollar General Literacy grant? Do you have to include specific info about teaching/literacy/measurable outcomes? Any info is helpful

In dishonor of Goodreads Choice Awards failing on children's books, what are your fav picture books or middle grade chapter books of 2025? #youthlibs #childrenslibrarians

8th graders in the #bookfair: “y’all, look at my childhood!” (Holding up some Disney-adjacent book) #Scholastic #youthlibs #schoollibraries

“We understand there is a nationwide outage affecting the #Scholastic POS system and apologize for any inconvenience this causes your bookfair.” #libraries #youthlibs #SchoolLibraries

I was energized after summer library conference, then went back to school and found I’m in the k-2 rotation. 4 weeks in, I finished 1st & 2nd grade classes one day and thought, “I quit. I’ll just walk into my principal’s office today and quit.” #youthlibs #schoollibraries #school #teaching

Here we are beginning to move 2000 fiction books (and shelves). It really would have been nice to do this during the summer, instead of the 2nd week of school. #libraries #youthlibs #schoollibraries

Well, here we go back to #school - 2 weeks preplanning (which is helpful) before #students arrive, but it’s reeeeeaaal hard to get up and get dressed this morning. Hard to believe some of you just started summer break! #schoollibraries #edusky #teaching #youthlibs

How do we feel about YALSA being dissolved? I have a lot of complex feels about ALA in general, so I'm not even sure how to feel about this development #YouthLibs

We’re winding up the last few days of school, and I’m stuck at home, missing all the events! What I can do, is a few book orders, plans for physical change, create signage changes, and give detailed instructions in work orders to maintenance. #youthlibs #libraries #librarians #schoollibraries
