Happy Friday #Skybrarians #TLSky what’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever found in your library? I’ll go first:

A bag of frozen peas sits on a bookshelf among some library books. Seriously.

Jolene thinks The Night of the Constantly Ringing Doorbell is no treat, but wishes a Happy Halloween to those of you who will enjoy it! @darthbluesky.bsky.social

Whitish dog performs perfect sit while wearing bandanna decorated with Halloween motifs including candy corn.

Dr. Gholdy Muhammad gave a brilliant (genius, really) Brodie Family lecture full of joy and justice tonight at @bowdoincollege.bsky.social This school librarian especially needed to hear about how reading and joy are intertwined! Thank you @gholdym.bsky.social ! #EduSky #TLSky

A brilliant Black woman stands at a lectern while a slide showing a genius and joyful child is projected on a screen behind her

A projected slide says “We come from joy” and quotes the Weekly Advocate from 1837 which says “By reading you may visit all countries converse with the wise good and great who have lived in any age or country … By reading you view everything elegance in architecture sculpture and painting. By reading you may ascend to those remote regions…and enkindle the most sublime emotions that can animate the human soul”

This one is fiction. I'm not saying these books are in my library but I'm not NOT saying that either.

The cover of the graphic novel version of Octavia E. Butler's book "Kindred" Title in red letters illustration shows two brown skinned arms thrusting upwards in an expression of helplessness with gray chains around the wrists on a black background, one wrist is being gripped by a white skinned hand. This hauntingly illustrated graphic novel brings the original text of the classic novel to life.

I mean honestly idc, this is all illegal bs, so bring it. An Executive Order is not the law. Join me in posting great "DEI" books here. Use that Alt Text to sing its praises.

Dark blue cover of book entitled "The 1619 Project, a new origin story" created by Nikole Hannah-Jones. This groundbreaking and brilliant book tells the story of race in America.

#TLSky #EduSky #Skybrarians & any other kind folks: please help out one of my students who has been bullied and doxxed by a member of the #Maine legislature by reporting their Facebook post from yesterday. It has been shared 2.3K times what if it got that many reports?

A3 #TLSkyChat Was trying to get books into kids’ hands one year before a school wide DEAR event and built a bookmobile with a cart so I could check books out in the cafeteria

Arriving after the #TLSkyChat party is over but wanted to answer the last Q: A8 hands down my 2024 book of my ❤️ is Kenneth M Cadow’s Gather w/its luminous prose & brilliant characters, it swept me off my feet. Ofc I picked it up just to find out if the dog lives (he does) & I’m so glad I did!

Planning a "Read-In" for the day before break in my high school library. Suggestions for activities (short breaks, because the periods are 87 minutes long!) would be appreciated! #TLSky #EduSky #Skybrarians Link to canva template: www.canva.com/design/DAGZF...

This has been a great infusion to our school’s reading culture, has generated lots of talk about books. We put leaves in the teachers’ rooms as well as our circ desk #Skybrarians
