Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

It’s been a great day. I didn’t even know it was #schoollibrarianappreciationday until the kids walked in with thank you cards 🥰. This is the best job-non-job I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to do it for real one day in my own library.

A7: Since hope is not a strategy, my vision for libraries is that we save our democracy & planet. I work on this by being obnoxiously vocal with leadership about how we impact lives daily & how libraries serve as equity engines, bringing so much value for such a small investment.

A1: I realized I wanted to be a school librarian in 2018. 7 years later and I’m finally getting my MLIS degree! My first job out of college was at @treehousebooks.org where I curated books for literacy programs and managed the giving library. I love connecting kids to books. #TLSkyChat

Today I made a zine to inform people about the EO that would gut the #IMLS. I was asked to share, so hey, why not share widely? You can download and print your own copies at drive.google.com/file/d/1DUsm....
If you need help folding, search for Hotdog Booklet and you should find directions easily.

Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!
Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛
Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

Makerspace day one was a huge success! I learned so much. But really all that matters is kids made things! After clean-up a student said “I love makerspace!” and that’s just all it takes to have me do it again. 🥰 thanks to #TLSkyChat for the great ideas!
