It bugs me that James Carrington is so obviously an AI generated voice. I just started listening to your podcast a few weeks ago and was really enjoying it. Sadly, I'm going to stop listening.

I've been making these fun notebooks to give to my teachers at the start of the school year! I'm a school librarian and I give them away if they attend my library orientation. It warms my heart when I see them being used in staff meetings.

Book bans impact public libraries & bookstores, but it’s school libraries where they are rampant ❤️‍🩹 Many kids are unable to make it to the public library. They can’t drive, often times the library isn’t in walking distance. It’s not that their grown-ups don’t want them to be library kids. 🧵 1/11

Authors and illustrators - never forget that you have an influence over the future generation. An ode to Baloney by a 3rd grade student in Littleton, CO. @gregpizzoli.bsky.social

Hand drawn cover of a student created book. Title is "Baloney and Friends Do Not Get Dirty".

Back cover of a student created book. Why I wrote this book is because I love reading and the original book Baloney and Friends I loved because how Peanut is so kind to Baloney and that is what I feel like when I'm with my friends. So that is why I want it to write a book. Book. Two coming up Baloney and Friends a Helping Hand. Cool! Wow! Awesome!
