I'm a queer, trans, disabled librarian with a passion for crafting and MG and YA fiction. Working on a new website to get away from Substack, but until that's done I'm at https://mxlibrarian.substack.com/
Just finished Lu and Ren's Guide to Geozoology by Angela Hsieh. It is an absolutely gorgeous story with stunning artwork. It works as a standalone, but I hope this will be a series because there are so many places to go with it and I want more! #KidLit #Librarian #GraphicNovel #BookSky

Just finished "Band Nerd" by Sarah Clawson Willis and Emma Cormarie. It's a middle grade graphic novel that hits HARD, about a girl with an alcoholic father. Wow, wow, WOW!!! A definite must-read! #KidLit #MiddleGrade #Librarian #BookSky 💙📚

#WIPWednesday: I found a seamless top-down sweater pattern on Ravelry that looks like set-in sleeves. I am making modifications to make it a tee and use moss stitch rather than stockinette. #Knitting
Pattern: continuing top down by Nataliya Volyanyuk.
Yarn: Cotton King from Hobbii.

Just finished "Rebellion 1776" by Laurie Halse Anderson. I was expecting a war story, but instead it was a beautiful piece of historical fiction that reminded me why it was one of my favorite genres when I was a kid. #BookSky #KidLit #MiddleGrade #Librarian

If you like Anna Marie McLemore's books, you will love El Niño by Pam Muñoz Ryan. MG magical realism about a boy on a swim team dealing with the grief of losing his sister: but is she really dead? This book is gorgeous, and the audiobook is VERY well done! #BookSky #KidLit #Librarian

A MUST-READ: "Mixed-Up" by Kami Garcia, an amazing graphic novel about a girl with dyslexia which is undiagnosed at the start. As a person with a LD that overlaps with dyslexia, I FLEW through it in a way I can't through most books thanks to the dyslexia-friendly font. #BookSky #Librarian #KidLit

Librarians are so sick of platitudes and vocational awe. We need protection to be able to do our basic jobs. We want action.

Work today was a professional development day at the Art Institute of Chicago, because visual literacy is so important to reading! I love my job 💙 #librarian

I ran a craft program yesterday and one of the kiddos wrote me this note on some of the scrap paper 💙

Just realized I've been posting about hockey playoff games so much I forgot to post about the excellent books I've read, so I'm going to make more posts about that soon. In the meantime, these books are highly recommended! #BookSky #KidLit #Librarian #TLSky #MiddleGrade #GraphicNovel

I've been in a lot of pain today, but Appa and his smile have hardly left my side. I love this sweet face! #DogsOfBlueSky #ServiceDog

I'm glad I checked your profile first because I very nearly blocked you on sight with the way your handle got cut off 😳
