Libby

middle school librarian she/her

[Libby @coastielu]

@stacymcanulty This is a middle school library, with 6th graders doing the heavy lifting. Those that continue to read for fun read a much higher percentage of traditional novels. (And they love high suspense mysteries!)

@kelseybogan AND! If you buy an air purifier, maker sure to open it up, and make sure the filter isn’t wrapped in plastic for shipping

[Libby @coastielu]

@kelseybogan @StephDisneyFan You seem like a crafty woman on a budget, so a Corsi-Rosenthal box might be just the ticket.

[Libby @coastielu]

@kelseybogan Air purifier. Don’t sweep, but wet mopping is ok. If it’s really nasty, wear an n95. (West coast knowledge.) don’t exercise!

[Libby @coastielu]

@jsled1016 @kelseybogan I have a smallish bucket of legos left over from robotics 15 years ago. Kids use them more as sensory toys, little finger build projects. I worried they would disappear, but after four years, still mostly intact

@clhubes Chinese chicken salad in a ziplock bag. I’ve been chasing that dragon for 13 years

@dsantat This book is SUCH a delight!

[Libby @coastielu]

@QueerlyAutistic Yes. (Felt deeply in “IBS”)

I'm fine with flex posts protecting a bike lane as long as 1 out of 20 of them is randomly a solid bollard that looks identical

[Libby @coastielu]

@JenReadsRomance Ahhhhhhh. I will have to live with the mystery then.

[Libby @coastielu]

@JenReadsRomance Not on Libby or Apple Books. Kindle exclusive?

[Libby @coastielu]

@JenReadsRomance My biggest issue w romance as a genre is having to get to know a whole new set of people every time.

[Libby @coastielu]

@JenReadsRomance Can we get a title? Bc hockey romance with 700 pages worth of characters and plot sounds AmAzeballs

@mcmansionhell When I read the headline, I thought it was advocating for each apartment to have a single stair in it, which seemed a weird accessibility nightmare. Then I read the article, and it made a LOT more sense.

[Libby @coastielu]

@kelseybogan @demco Register and excited. Already using ideas from number one. (Primarily trying out stacking.)

Hey book loving Twitter, buckle up for a wild ride, I’m about to share with you some of the challenges & complaints my school district has received from community members just this school year about books they don’t want in our libraries. But first, a little background info 🧵

[Libby @coastielu]

@kelseybogan I read at my circle desk when I don’t have students around and shelving is done. Zero guilt. People see me modeling reading AND I KNOW the collection. (Except fantasy, but I read blurbs and reviews and rely on student opinions.)
