Ever wonder why MG readers love novels in verse so much? Here are five reasons these books have become so wildly popular with kids. (thread)

Get a library card—even if you don’t plan to use it. Your registration helps secure funding for libraries, keeping them open and thriving for the entire community. Every card counts!

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it.

Can you help me make sure that all the educators on bluesky know Skype a Scientist exists and is ready to connect them with scientists? Every RT helps!
