I'm building an elementary library where students can fall in love with reading and learn about the environment. As the librarian of a Title 1 school in Astoria, NY, I'm raising funds for a rain forest story area! #DonorsChoose #clearthelist

@savranly As a librarian I found many treasures inside library books, but my favorite was a baby sonogram picture--I returned it to the professor who borrowed the book!

Found poem from notes in the margins of my copy of ULYSSES:

Naked goddesses—
aids to digestion;
stream of consciousness
tech.

My novel ENDPAPERS is about someone who finds a queer love letter in the binding of a book, so I'm curious: What treasures have you found in books? 📚

Sorry, Margaret.

I'm not on Tiktok, but now I want to be! @AlyssaJennette

Mildly embarrassing update: I’m doing some Tiktok stuff about being a parent in NYC (/any city) who doesn’t live in a luxury building or have a nanny! If this is relatable to you, follow me @/andsensibleshoes on Tiktok. I’d like to build that community ❤️

Any truly viable alternatives to Twitter yet?

I wrote about going into lockdown in my school library for Lit Hub. This one had a happy ending, technically, but this terror of school violence seems never-ending. @lithub, @PenParentis https://t.co/r5aOdwayGo

[Jess deCourcy Hinds @HindsJess]

@savranly Yay yay yay!

[Jess deCourcy Hinds @HindsJess]

@PenParentis @writesforlife This is great news! Hooray Pen Parentis Fellows!

So excited for this book @savranly! It's on my nightstand and I adored the first page.

[Jennifer Savran Kelly @savranly]

It looks like there will be an audiobook for ENDPAPERS and we'll have a genderqueer or nonbinary narrator, and I'm very excited about all of it!

"75 Years of Goodnight Moon" is up on Lit Hub. One of the most fun articles to write, ever. @lithub @PenParentis

And I had a blast reading @HindsJess's exploration of the Trapper Keeper and writing!
