A1: For literacy, Dollar General Literacy Foundation dgliteracy.org is a must—they fund youth and summer programs. Also check Walmart Local Community Grants walmart.org for $250-$5k awards. Talk to your local manager to boost your chances! #TLSkyChat

A2: I tend to be wordy so I use AI when I'm basically done to make sure my proposal is concise & doesn't have too much "pedagogy" vocab. Before AI, I'd have my engineer husband read it for the same reasons and he hasn't complained about being furloughed from this role 😆 #tlskychat

The Wave by Todd Strasser immediately comes to mind. Not broadly considered a classic but definitely 20th century & relevant.

I agree with you for the most part but also see that some are cycling back into popularity: all of Rick Riordan's series & Twilight are in high circulation at my school library (The Hunger Games never stopped).

This is Walter, my library's newest exchange student. He comes to us from juniorhighland and thinks our campus is much calmer. Walter enjoys naps in my conference room and gentle pets from my high school students.

Why ban books when you can ban the entire library? New Braunfels ISD has frozen library purchase orders & closed secondary campus libraries following a harassment campaign by Libs of Tik Tok & other out of district extremists. bookriot.com/new-braunfel...

I get up early and leave before 6am for my job as a HS librarian. This was my send off yesterday. The other humans in my house at least muster a sleepy "bye" when I leave but this guy couldn't even be bothered with a tail wag. 😆

I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book at a library conference. It is sooooo good. It's funny, it's cringey, it lands, it resonates. Highly recommend!!!!!!

Regardless of the quality of the material within its pages, there was always something so demotivating about being assigned a "poor" condition book at the start of a brand new term. 2/2

Reminds me of textbooks that had a stamp in the front cover where the teacher would write the student's name & condition of the book. New, good, fair, poor. 1/2

I bet the discussions will be very valuable. Our students have levels of trauma that I cannot imagine and don't even know about, but it definitely impacts how they learn.
