⁦@LIScluster⁩ One last helpful book list-this one lists 2021 sequels to popular books, but NOT the usual series like Dog Man! Could be used to make a display!

⁦@LIScluster⁩ This excellent list of YA books sorted by grade would be helpful when conducting RA with patrons seeking books about people their own age! - Reading Your Way Through High School, a book gallery by grade - Teen Librarian Toolbox https://t.co/9nk4udFN8P

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@abracadog @LIScluster Yeah they are helpful and time saving, especially when it’s on a topic with which I’m not super familiar! I know my local PL has similar lists as well and they link straight to their catalog and are super easy to navigate.

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

⁦@abracadog⁩ ⁦@LIScluster⁩ re: sci-fi/fantasy poll at NPR - awesome list for finding fantasy books depending on what you’re looking for (series, stand-alone, epic, etc.). I love lists like these. https://t.co/XVsCqx3HNU

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

⁦@LIScluster⁩ Did you know that We Need Diverse Books also has an excellent blog in addition to helpful resources for locating and developing diverse books and collections? Take a look! https://t.co/jHm7FAelnJ

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

⁦@LIScluster⁩ Apparently Instagram poetry is a thing! A teen program to create poems that could be shared on the library’s Insta would be super fun! Check out this helpful guide to instapoetry from ⁦@BookRiot⁩ https://t.co/eyyAjiTAX5

@abracadog @LIScluster @NPR I’ve seen that book on a bunch of lists and displays but haven’t had a chance to read it yet! I really like the idea of a library dept creating a poll. It would help patrons and librarians learn about new titles they might have never heard about.

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

⁦@LIScluster⁩ ⁦@NPR⁩ is conducting a reader poll on your favorite new (pub. in the last 10 yrs) sci-fi & fantasy books, both individual & series! Could be fun to do a similar poll at the library and see how the results compare! https://t.co/Ya6BAOZXHp

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@samwyllis @LIScluster Yeah super weird 2011 was that long ago. Where does the time go?! But yeah, I thought limiting the responses to the last 10 years was smart! Otherwise they’d probably get a lot of repeats and you can only list books like Lord of the Rings so many times.

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@samwyllis @LIScluster Oh this looks so interesting! I’m a big Renaissance Faire fan and even though this isn’t the same time period, it made me think about the Ren Faire immediately. I love learning how regular people lived in the past.

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@EndlesDeviation @aspiringlibrar2 @LIScluster @briparking I really enjoy Sawbones too! It’s great to hear easy to understand explanations of science topics. Justin McElroy is just hilarious too. My sister just recommended ologies to me, but now I definitely want to check it out even more.

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@abracadog @LIScluster Another excellent “spooky” podcast is @lorepodcast! It’s one of my all-time faves and I am not really into spooky stories all that much. Lots of the episodes dig into the truth behind folklore!

@abracadog @LIScluster I love Canva!! I’ve used it so much throughout the entire MLIS program. I’m not a very tech-savvy person so I really appreciate its ease of use!

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@LIScluster This new resource from ALA’s Booklist looks awesome and would be a great resource for library staff and patrons alike! I especially like how it’s separated by genre.

[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

Patron friendly, librarian approved, & free with a @ALA_Booklist subscription, Booklist Reader, the new digital-only magazine from @ALA_Booklist features diverse readers' advisory recommendations for all ages and so much more! Get a sneak peek here: https://t.co/C5HVPnpvE4

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@KimAndro1 @abracadog @LIScluster This is such a useful resource! Having the awards listed all in one place helps save a lot of time. Also, when I start looking at book award sites, I often end up in a rabbit hole, so this would help keep me on track!

[Stephanie Cascio @stephcascio]

@LIScluster I just now saw these awards! I read a whole lot of nonfiction last semester and these titles are sure to be great too. I loved Candace Fleming’s Romanovs book. Nonfiction Award - Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) https://t.co/ud57WLHJSv

⁦@LIScluster⁩ I am interested in seeing what kinds of collections come out of the pandemic. It’s definitely been a life changing experience. This was a moving article. Library of Congress Acquires Audio Diaries from Healthcare Workers During COVID-19 https://t.co/2l57G3swTW

⁦@LIScluster⁩ Check out this in-depth collection of LGBTQ+ resources from the Library of Congress for program and collection planning. If nothing else, read a few of their blog posts on LGTBQ pride, history, and more. https://t.co/qOqimSjteR

@RidingsYoung @LIScluster @LEEandLOW Awesome, I’m so glad you’ll be able to apply the checklist to your class texts. @LEEandLOW has several great resources on their blog as well. Check the whole site for sure!
