@thestoryspectator.bsky.socialLast week’s Open Books Open Minds author panel had middle grade authors say why they write for this age group⤵️
Jamie Sumner said,
“I want my readers to consider: What’s your defense mechanism? What do your friends bring out in you? What do you bring out in your friends?”
@infreedom.bsky.socialTexas librarians say ongoing efforts to restrict books are creating uncertainty in schools and making it harder to connect students with the stories they love.

@thestoryspectator.bsky.socialWhen authors gift their books to school libraries it goes a long way⤵️
Thanks to H.D. Carver for sending 2 more copies of 📚 We Became Wild, her young adult novel focused on teen bonds, survival and trauma 💔for my district’s other 2 high school libraries!
@mstewartscience.bsky.socialI love my job!
I get to spend this rainy Sunday developing an author visit that includes real life fossils gifted to me by a fossil hunter in Kansas.

@illinimccoy.bsky.socialBatch baking some shrinky dink dots on a rainy afternoon. They are turning out so cute! 🥰
@wendygarland.bsky.socialA little note goes a long way. My principal at the building I share left this for my colleague and I.
@illinimccoy.bsky.social2nd grade made buddy dots for #DotDay ! We colored a dot, cut half to keep, then gathered two quarters from classmates’ dots to make a whole new creation.
@illinimccoy.bsky.socialALWAYS grateful for the sharing of @wendygarland.bsky.social ! Thanks to her our 4th grade Ss were thrilled with our new dot punches and made some very creative #DotDay bookmarks.
@wendygarland.bsky.socialA 5th grader on a scavenger hunt of books by call numbers referred to graphic novels as “the holy grail of the library.” Circ stats confirm this. 🤣
@welshcountry.bsky.social@illinimccoy.bsky.socialThis year’s 5th graders are learning more about Louis Braille’s system of dots for #DotDay!
@thestoryspectator.bsky.socialMy students love the Make + Take Your Own Bookmark station in the school library⤵️

@wendygarland.bsky.socialNow that students can take up to 5 books home, we are practicing being respectful and making selections that include “2 of a kind” so there are some for others.
@illinimccoy.bsky.social#DotDay fun:
Kindergarten Ss are working their fine motor skills by drawing dots in the first letter of their name, then adding dot stickers.
1st graders are designing a shrinky dink dot -tiny versions coming soon!
@wendygarland.bsky.socialInspired by @illinimccoy.bsky.social I created a video to explain how Open Library works. They are riveted. The live version of "me" is just not as enticing.
