HELP! I recently learned that all school libraries in CA now serve kiddos as young as 4 yrs old through a universal preK program. I would like to learn more about library services for kiddos this young. Whose work should I checkout? #TLSky #librarians #libraries #schoollibrarians #schoollibraries

I saw an owl yesterday. I’m only an aspiring birder, but I’m almost certain it was a barred owl. It flew directly across my path to grab prey from the ground. Then off it went. There were no witnesses. My phone was not handy for photos. Still, I feel I deserve the @cordellmatthew.bsky.social award.

💬 #TLSkyChat A8: As I tell my MLIS Ss (in YA lit) THOUSANDS of books are published each year. Most never even get reviewed, never mind make it in front award committees. All this to say that, in a lot of ways, I think just finishing a book and getting it to readers deserves its own award!
