Where are my productive procrastinators?? This is the product of my most recent procrastination efforts. I have wanted to crochet some octopuses (it’s actually a 2025 goal of mine) but it definitely wasn’t the most urgent item on my to do list.

I had a blast conducting different animal characters on Read Across America Day last month! We were talking about how different characters have to work together like instruments in a symphony. Thanks for having me at the Homestead Family Center CCA!

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

I’m in! Let’s do this!

Truth doesn't have a marketing budget, so spreading those messages is up to us.

ONE solution to this is street art.

Another fun day at Toddler Yoga at @riverstonebooks.bsky.social! This month’s story is a longtime favorite of mine by @vbartles.bsky.social and illustrated by Sara Palacios. The kids LOVE jumping like frogs and pretending to kiss frogs on their little green heads. #kidsyoga #kidlit #storytimeyoga
