“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.”

—Madeleine L’Engle

Yes, there’s a LOT of play in this library—but guess what? Kids want to read when they aren’t forced to. 📖✨ When reading is a choice, not a chore, it becomes joyful. Let kids explore, play, and discover stories on their terms—you’ll be amazed. 💛

Just sat in on a terrific (and packed!) @americanbookseller.bsky.social Winter Institute panel called "Engaging the In-Between: Combatting the Middle Grade Reading Crisis" & want to share some highlights & thoughts. (thread)

School librarians improve literacy outcomes. It is time that we stop thinking of school libraries as a luxury or an outdated, quiet room. All schools need a school library staffed by a certified school librarian. #TLSky #skybrarian www.americanprogress.org/article/inve...

Re-upping this. We need experts in media literacy & stewards of the freedom to read now more than ever.

Yes to all of this. In particular, I love @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social's transparency around how his view of audiobooks + reading has evolved over time. That's called learning. And our world needs more people who are willing, eager even, to have their views changed by new/better information.

I was waiting for the perfect 1st post and it is just not hitting - hoping to rebuild social media community I lost when I left (you know 🙄) I LOVE school libraries and I am always looking for new ideas and ways to get better. Let’s connect!

I added this slide to tomorrow's presentation at the Wisconsin Reading Association's annual conference. The full interview with two-time Newbery Medalist @erinentrada.bsky.social will be on my blog tomorrow mrschureads.com.

"School librarians are the architects of a more understanding, empathetic world. By getting kids to love stories, they’re encouraging them to love and better understand their fellow human." —Newbery Honor author @kloshaughnessy.bsky.social mrschureads.blogspot.com/2025/02/newb... #TLSky
