I thoroughly enjoyed leading a dialogue for German teachers about censorship and book banning in the U.S. These teachers will visit U.S. schools in the fall as part of a transatlantic study trip. I visited German schools last summer as part of this outstanding fellowship. #tlsky #edusky
This outstanding article on children’s literacy and librarians is a must-read. “In the midst of a reading emergency, librarians are the E.M.T.s.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/HgGokE #edusky #tlsky #schoollibrarians #literacy
I highly recommend Checkology resources for grades 6 and up. #newsliteracy #tlsky #edusky @newslit.org @weareteachers.bsky.social

Tomorrow I will be part of a virtual dialogue to discuss issues in American schools with German teachers who will be traveling to the U.S. for a study trip. I will talk about the rise in censorship and book banning. Looking forward to hearing their thoughts and questions. #tlsky #edusky
I’m excited to step into a bigger leadership role with @kaslks.bsky.social as I enter the presidential cycle. I will learn the ropes as a VP before leading the organization in 2028. I look forward to working alongside many talented librarians as we support one another. #tlsky

Did you know JSTOR lets you read 100 articles a month for free with a personal account?
I didn't.

. @amybrownlee93.bsky.social is an incredible Kansas K-12 librarian!
The nation’s official advocate for children’s books says most of them are “crud.” But matters of literary quality don’t explain why kids aren’t reading.
2/ The response from Amy's students was quite positive
"They loved the interactive elements in Checkology & really responded to the authentic, real-world examples of ads & social media posts."
