Whatever you do, do NOT buy @Sephora gift cards! I received one for my birthday, went to use it, funds were drained. I never used the card, scammers got to it before me.
Called Sephora, and they said, there’s nothing they can do about it.
Terrible customer service!
I’m super blessed to have mobile showers at my library. Today we had 42 people use the shower to jumpstart their day. Having empathy working in the library is a must have skill. You don’t know peoples stories. The library has so many resources to help people. My soul feels good!!
I wish teaching was a profession in which we were allowed to take a year long sabbatical and read research, books, and attend conferences… that would be so invigorating.
The 2025 National African American Read-In was a smash success – with more than 123,000 students and participants reading 8,860+ books! See how communities nationwide celebrated African American texts and authors: https://t.co/wEK8qE1YL0

We honor the extraordinary contributions of Dr. @KyleneBeers to NCTE and the literacy field.
Kylene spurred our leadership forward. Many recognize her as a giant, and that she was, including serving as NCTE President (2008-2009) and a proud member of the Middle Level section.
The latest US literacy stats have just dropped and they are every bit as grim as you might imagine.
"Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels"
So many educators complain to me that kids lack “stamina” for reading, but the kids never read anything longer than a textbook chapter or anthology short story.
Let's make this the new universal book challenge policy:
Parents have every right to restrict what their own children are allowed to read. They have zero right to make those decisions for anyone else's kids. Ever.
