A8 #TLSkyChat ask RETIRED educators/librarians ...they have been there. Give me a shopping list or ask me for a sponsorship.

A8 #TLSkyChat get a partner who is NOT in the library (parent, community leader, student group) and work on a request/proposal TOGETHER; sometimes feeding off each other helps!

A8: Think outside the box! 🐢 Apply to Pets in the Classroom petsintheclassroom.org for a library mascot or the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation ezra-jack-keats.org for $500 literacy projects. For big dreams, Voya Unsung Heroes voya.com awards up to $25k! #TLSkyChat

Q6: What free reading promotions do you love (local or national)? How do you share them with students & families? Reply with A6 👇 #tlskychat

A6 #TLSkyChat so many summer reading opps in conjunction with public libraries. I've seen so many amazing partnerships to bridge the gap! #publiclibraries

#TLSkyChat A6 Too often I hear about grants for markers and paper and post its ; I think impt to save these "gifts" for more impactful options

Your list will need to align with your program goals--what do you want done by spring; for the fall, for a certain event; include a TIMELINE with your list. #TLSkyChat A4

Q4: Shopping & wishlists are essential and how do you manage and prioritize them? Share your system! Reply with A4 👇 #tlskychat

You may wanna revisit your policy. Ours covers what we do with donations that do not meet our collection development policies/needs. It helps when people ger BIG MAD that we won't take their 20 year old encyclopedias. #TLSkyChat

A4 #TLSkyChat I don't have any specific links, but I do know our vendor partners are simply the best and connecting with them about your needs & Ideas can bridge the gap

A3 #TLSkyChat I always cleared with my principal BEfore I applied; sometimes she even shared of "in house" funds that could support such efforts. #yaneverknow

#TLSkyChat sounds like @simplyrain.bsky.social is a great resource for ways to curate LISTS to be ready! Being organized makes it less intimidating!

#TLSkyChat A3 be sure to align your ASK with the guidelines of the givers ; sometimes no consumables or items that can be obtained through existing budgets. #readthefineprint

#TLSkyChat A2. I just was on a jury for an award; the applicants whose words were clear,concise, and didn't sound robotic were the ones that jumped to the top of my piles. Grant providers deserve your energy, too!
