I looked for you, too!

I am SO glad you are safe. What a harrowing journey, though! We just landed back in DC but we had a ton of turbulence too.

Thanks for joining us despite the heat! #AASL25

Same. I thought I was in a great place and it became a million little to do's. It'll be worth it to see you at #AASL25, though!

SAME. The quintessential conundrum of how to pack for a conference when it's going to be in the 80s! #AASL2025

Yes! Kids at my school are more interactive with each other. Card games and chess playing in the library have increased with the removal of phones. Not seeing the reading rise yet, but social skills are on the upward swing and I'll take it.

Love this! Way to go!!

I've always loved this song. Rings true now too watching the middle school couples starting up (blech).

Sign me up! Always happy to talk about everything Libraryland. :)

I did a Google form application that students had to fill out why they wanted to be part of SLAT and an idea for something new for our library. I accepted everyone (about 20) and 10-15 regularly attended this yr.

Proud of you! Way to go!! 🎉🎉

The choose your own adventure format is still being published, although most are based in a historical setting than random stories we read growing up. Kids are still into them! I have a bunch in my library from the You Choose series. But agreed that it should have spread to other media too!
