#Teachers, the book J vs. K does a great job of going over the writing process. Would be a great one to add to your curriculum! Kids will like it as much as they like Diary of a Wimpy Kid! #BookRecommedation

Always enjoy the dynamic between frenemies Jerry Craft and Kwame Alexander - how much fun did the two of them have making J vs. K? #NationalBookFest

Not all authors(or librarians!) liked reading as kids - Katherine Applegate didn’t like to read as a kid and neither did I. Parents, keep providing those books for kids because becoming a lifelong reader (or author!) can happen at any time! #NationalBookFest

From Sweet Valley Twins to Newbery author…Katherine Applegate wrote 17 Sweet Valley Twins books! #NationalBookFest #NowYouKnow

📚💙 In June book-banning news: Shel Silverstein, Judy Blume, and George Takei books are being removed from school libraries across TN. In FL, officials are skipping legal review processes. And a new court ruling in TX makes it harder to fight back.

Just because Dr. Carla Hayden doesn’t like brussels sprouts doesn’t mean you can’t eat them #alaac25 #LibrariansLoveaMetaphor

When Hayden was fired, her first instinct was to protect the library, because that’s what a real leader does #alaac25

Librarians, if you need some soul healing, head on down to hear Dr. Carla Hayden and Kwame Alexander speak. We are five minutes in and I’m already wiping away tears #alaac25
