For all 3 books, their "most shelved" category was "smut"

So, thanks for that, BookTok.

(Yes, I made her a list of alternative recommendations. No, she did not pick even one.)

7th grader requested I purchase 3 books. Couldn't find them on my usual vendor's site.

Checked the public library, saw they were there. Normally, I'd let the student know. But out of curiosity, checked 'em out on Goodreads...

Changed the flashlight's batteries, clicked it on to make sure I put 'em in the right way, and managed to stare straight down the barrel of the stupid-bright bulb.

Currently touch-typing this post as my eyeballs try to re-adjust. 😂

Tubi, why do you offer S5 E7 and E9 of BARONESS VON SKETCH SHOW, but not a single other episode?

That's a weird thing to do, Tubi.

Critikid - Critical Thinking for Kids Critical thinking resources for kids and teens - videos, courses, worksheets, and lesson plans for ages 5-18

Taking a break from current events to boost a #MediaLiteracy education tool from @critikid.bsky.social. Critikid.com is creating some really useful and reasonably priced teaching resources for key aspects of logical thinking for upper elementary and middle grades kids. 🍎📚 #TLSky 🧪🗺️

At the end of our library classes this week 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders are selecting a book to read with their younger buddy for our big event next week. The Goldilocks comparison of choosing a title with not-too-few words and not-too-many words is resonating.

"You can sit in a comfy chair to read!" Student reply, "I don't sit so good." This is a child who knows herself. Stand up and read that book, kiddo!

Tonie box audio player in a purple box on a woodgrain table. 5 Tonies in their packages are on the table in front of the box.

Our school library was awarded a Story Time Picture Book Bundle from Tonies and it arrived today. I was so excited to open the box and see it all. Looking forward to setting it up next week and getting it in student and teacher hands to spread book joy! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky

So for those who wanted tk see it, I apologize how very SPARSE this is. 🥲

I pulled these books & had them on a cart.

It is all I have checked out for 2 days...so no books were left for my display!🥰

Also, didn't need the mirrors. I used angles. Pages towards the entrance.

What does this title have to do with #bookbanning strategies??? Tune in tomorrow to #Episode 356 and my conversation with @laneyhawes.bsky.social of TX Freedom to Read Project.

I love how my local #Indiebookstore created a webpage so people can purchase signed copies of my book AND let me post lists of my favorite books. #ShopLocal

I used to think my dad was ridiculous when he'd complain about heartburn. I'd think, "How could getting older make what you eat hurt you hours later?"

Well, haha Karma, you got me.

A picture of a whiteboard with text and drawings. Thurs. 3/5 FROM: Nick WOULD YOU RATHER...? Get $5 million? (Beneath it is a drawing of two stick figures. One says, "How many gold chains is that?" The other replies, "300. My back REALLY hurts, but I look dope!") OR Have dinner with any 5 people, living or dead? (Beneath it is a drawing of stick figures around a long table. One on the end wearing a ball cap says, "...And I said, 'Orange you glad I didn't say banana?!'" A figure further down the tables replies, "Good one, Jay-Z! Who else has a joke? Marie Curie? Gronk? Ghengish Khan? Einstein?" Sitting next to Jay-Z is a stick figure with radiation lines coming off it; then a plain stick figure, then the speaker; then a stick figure with a big fuzzy hat; then a stick figure with wild hair and a mustache.)

I don't think anyone got my super-subtle joke - Marie Cutie is the stick figure that's glowing. 😂

(One kid did wonder aloud if one of the stick figures was Michael Jackson. EXTREMELY curious to know how that thought process went!)

So I think I just figured out how to make INTERACTIVE visual book lists that students can access from inside the catalog(!).

It takes forever to gather all the catalog links, but it might be worth it. Hmm. I think I just created a TON more work for myself. 😂

/end

Took one of Melissa Corey’s visual book lists & made a PDF version with embedded links that go to each title & each author in my catalog.

My catalog allows uploading of PDFs.

And I can make “carousels” that cycle through selected catalog items.

Wyoming lawmakers' proposal to ban 'explicit' books from libraries falters as clock runs out The Legislature was advancing a bill that backers saw as a common sense way to keep "sexually explicit" books out of kids hands. Critics saw it as a book ban, and Teton County librarians have lined up...

THE HORRIFIC BOOK BANNING BILL IN WYOMING WAS KILLED.

IT'S DEAD!!!!!!

If your knee-jerk right now is "yeah but so many other ones," cool. *Not right here or right now.*
