Watched a super fun 1970s whodunit on a yacht thanks to @pchh and @ghweldon: The Last of Sheila. Go check it out!

This thread is really smart. I'd like to figure out a way to work it into a library lesson because it's a great example of how research unfolds.

HOW TO BUY A GOOD CASHMERE SWEATER 🧵

I want to address this comment left by someone in response to my Brick Watch Company tweet. It also gets into something I've been wanting to talk about: how to buy a good cashmere sweater.

I always put all of the books she suggests immediately on hold from the library!

The other day I recommended The 57 Bus by @DashkaSlater to a student. Today I got the kindest note from their parent. This is why I love my job and why it breaks my heart when people try to ban books. #librarianlife #thankful

6th grade classes in the library for orientation brings me such joy! We created a reading life timeline of meaningful books in our life, shared what we're reading, and checked out books. Honoring what kids love to read makes such a difference. #SPSlibrarians #schoollibrarian

Well it's started. A kid who was an avid reader in 6th and 7th grade came to ask me for a particular genre of book around 200 pages. If we want kids to be readers, do not put restrictions of what they read for "independent reading". Independent reading should be their choice!

Fox News is complaining about a nationwide teacher shortage today. Here are some of the things Fox has said about teachers over the last two years:

On a day when the Ohio state legislature is considering a bill that would require educators to teach “both sides” of issues such as the Holocaust, I feel compelled to (once again) share one of the core beliefs that served as the foundation of Developing Digital Detectives. 🧵/1

@anjalih @WestJet Oh no, that's horrible :(

I'm not sure why this tweet has been labeled as showing sensitive material but this is the kind of thing I've been looking for!

@agent_of_callie Oh Huxley... 😂

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time.

Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do.

We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.

@agent_of_callie You've got this, Ms. Manager! Sending you all my best wishes 😘

@agent_of_callie Such good singers! Haha
