Literacy is load-bearing, y'all. Not AI literacy, not digital literacy, not media literacy. Literacy literacy.

Hey all—I am super psyched to be updating and teaching the Supercharged Storytimes class on Library Juice in April 2027! Early literacy storytime content, literacy messages to grownups, and iterative assessment. AMA ❤️

Visiting the chillest library program ever: Tummy Time, an unstructured hangout for babies and their grownups, with a visitor from our early childhood council who can discuss free support services. A volunteer made our sensory lap quilts ❤️
Commercial carpeting covered with colorful blankets and baby toys. You can see a baby’s leg on the blanket and a grownup’s coffee at the edge.  Photo of a small lap quilt made of many different textures fabrics, such as vinyl, satin, courderoy, knit, and flannel

I emailed a library asking for a small but annoying favour, and they did me a big favour and it's provided absolutely crucial data for a new project and publication, and slopAI could never and yay for humans, and librarians and archivists in particular.

Peeking in on storytime this morning, Ms M is reading Maisy’s Moon Landing. She asks the kids, has anyone been to the moon? They say no! She says, not YET :)
