A8: My why is to promote the love of reading. By coming into the new school year with a ton of recs, Ss see that it's not just "my job" but my LOVE of books, something I want to pass on to them. My why is to provide Ss with books that they can relate to, that they see themselves in #TLSkyChat

💛📚Q8 #TLSkyChat is LIVE!💛📚 How does your reading life in the summer reconnected you to your "why" as a school librarian? For more information visit: tlskychat.com #TLSky #TLSkyChat

A7: with summer reading, offer them choices, it's all about Student Voice & Choice. They are tired of the usual book report. By creating the "If You Like" book recs, it helps students branch off from what they already like/know, introducing them to new authors. #TLSkyChat

Q7 for tonight’s #TLSkyChat! How can we use summer reading as a tool not just for preventing the “summer slide,” but for building student agency, identity, and curiosity? For more information visit: tlskychat.com

A6: hmmm, good question. Definitely balance, especially when we start back at school & I have a stack of recs ready to book talk during orientation. If just one student grabs one of the books I booktalk, I consider that a WIN! #TLSkyChat

💛📚 #TLSkyChat Q6 is LIVE!💛📚 In the past, how has your summer reading helped you redefine success, balance, or boundaries in your librarian life? For more information visit: tlskychat.com

Z_Brarian@zbrarian.bsky.social · last yr.

A5: EMPATHY! The importance of reading...The dangers of Social Media & teaching them to be careful what they post. It will come back & bite you. There's just so many but these are at the top of my list. #TLSkyChat

Q5 for tonight’s #TLSkyChat! If your library had a “summer reading passport,” what destinations (genres, themes, authors) would you include to help students and staff explore widely and deeply? For more information visit: tlskychat.com

Z_Brarian@zbrarian.bsky.social · last yr.

A1: The characters, or rather the story line from Nikki Erlick's, The Measure. Makes you really think about opening up that Pandora's Box. As much as I would WANT TO, I am learning to say NO more. No more assistant, so I am going to have to say no a lot in the fall. #TLSkyChat

A3: reading with quiet music in the background. The lofi playlists on Spotify are so calming. I also want to ramp up my audiobook time. Love just crashing on a chair/couch and reading away! #TLSkyChat

A2: brushing up on some of my edtech favorites, especially @adobeexpress.adobe.com So many ideas I can bring back to my campus. Also brainstorming new programming, which I find lots of suggestions/ideas here and on Instagram. #TLSkyChat

A1: catching up on my personal TBR & reading for my reading committees. I switch back and forth between the two, keeps my head on straight! Right now reading Kill Creatures by Rory Power & the second Crescent City book #TLSkyChat

@hebron_hs student creativity has been off the charts as we celebrate #schoollibrarymonth I got this idea from a fellow librarian on Facebook. It's a collaborative mosaic, made with sharpie paint markers and wooden puzzle pieces I purchased on Amazon. It's all about sharing their love of reading.
