I’m diving into this gorgeous #sciart children’s book - that’s definitely not just for kids. The artwork is exquisite and the text is the right balance of thorough and accessible. A great inspiration for #naturejournaling! #skybrarians #booksky @clairescully.bsky.social

Weekending 💚 #skybrarians #booksky #booklover

Yesterday I combined work and pleasure, leading a nature journaling session for my library, featuring zines from @wildwonder.bsky.social. Such an engaged group, and everyone walked away feeling relaxed and inspired! 🍃✏️🌱 #naturejournaling #publiclibraries #skybrarians

I joined the Montara Nature Journaling Club yesterday and had a wonderful time! Overcast days are beautiful too 😶‍🌫️ #sciart #naturejournaling

Critical reminder - if you value libraries, even if you don't use them yourself, if you see the value to your community - please let Congress know. 📚🍽️💿🆘 www.ala.org/advocacy/fun...

Tell Congress to #FundLibraries

The American Library Association is leading the charge for libraries. Librarians, information professionals, and everyone who loves them must tell their members of Congress to support full federal fun...

Hiking and #naturejournaling at Burleigh H. Murray State Park this morning. Such a beautiful day! #castateparks

A quiet start to the morning, spending an hour with this big beauty at the end of her life. #ceanothussilkmoth #naturejournaling #wildwonder

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote. 🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨

TX FReadom Fighters@freadomfighters.bsky.social · last yr.

Bad. Despite the voucher debate, the Tx State Affairs committee met and voted FOR HB3225. This bill would require public libraries to have age restrictions and cordone off parts of the library as inaccessible to teens. @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social @penamerica.bsky.social @everylibrary.bsky.social

Looking for vendor suggestions for printing vinyl stickers. Any that you’ve liked working with? Wondering if @badstitch.bsky.social or @finefrogstitching.com or @worldonastringdara.bsky.social or anyone else has a recommendation? I’ve been pleased with the quality I’ve seen from yours. Thanks!
