I'm thrilled to announce that I've signed with Tasneem Motala @belcastroagency.bsky.social. I don't think I could ask for a literary agent more aligned with my values, goals, challenges, and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to working with her. @seraphecda.bsky.social

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it. Can you help me make sure that all the educators on bluesky know Skype a Scientist exists and is ready to connect them with scientists? Every RT helps! #EduSky #STEMEd

Happy 20th to the entire Avatar crew! Two decades just went by in a blink. Watching my kids dive deep into the Avatar fandom has been so beautiful. Enjoying the show with them has been a seminal parental experience! #AvatarthelastAirbender

But really, you have so many resources at your fingertips with a library card. Our district doesn't just offer books, music, and videos. You can get help finding a job, use a 3-D printer or our DMPL, take a class, check out a health kit, get a pass to our state parks, and more! It's all free.

This is fascinating. I'm hoping that people think about what Hank says here. Like him, I'm hoping that we aren't stuck in some equivalent of the witch burning stage for a long time.

I'm starting a new adventure. Our library district just offered me a job as a YPL Children's Services Assistant. It's part-time, only three days/week. I'm really excited to be working with kids, and with the librarians who interviewed me. And I'll still have time to write.
