Eeekkk! How exciting!! Check out all these cool new books coming out from @aasl and @ALALibrary!! Including the super cute #MangaGTS! 🥳🤘🏻 @mangalibrarian @BespokeLib @St_741 @emratica
Best part of #SDCC24 was meeting INCREDIBLE authors & creators! All were gracious enough to sign my bag - a great memory! Thanks to @johnbgallagher @GailSimone @JIJennings @naominovik @NicolaYoon @marikotamaki @JonathanMaberry @WriteinBK @davidbooher @NikkiPayneBooks 📚
Great manga coming from @UdonEnt this year: King Lear & Sherlock Holmes (which looks AMAZING) from Manga Classics & then more new biographies will follow the Charles Shultz title that comes out in October, including Amelia Earhart, & Momofuku Ando (creator of Instant Noodles)!
So excited to be at a panel at #SDCC24 where @goraina and @scottmccloud are discussing their new book “The Cartoonist Club”! Telegemeier describes the book as a mix between her website’s FAQ page and the “Do-Re-Me” song from The Sound of Music. 😂😂

If you are not reading @sm_wordsmith @manga_librarian @BespokeLib @emratica & Sybil “Mouna” Toure's book MANGA GOES TO SCHOOL, you are missing out! They are sharing so many reasons Manga belongs on our shelves, and great titles to help us get there! #BossLibrarianPD

This was a great session! I really needed to hear that one simple tip (permission) to focus on getting multiple copies of the first 3-5 books instead of 1 copy of all 50 titles in a series. 😂

Last panel of #ALAAC24 and 1st #MangaGTS talk done! Thanks to everyone who came to our session! We started with an anime OP dance party, gave rapid-fire info from the book, & encouraged pre-orders. We’ll see you all @ next talk @ #AASL25!

I haven’t posted anything in a looong time, but I had to share because I am so excited about #MangaGoesToSchool, available this winter from @aasl. It was a labor of love with @sm_wordsmith, @BespokeLib, @manga_librarian, and @St_741. Check it out here: alastore.ala.org/mangaschool

Hey #SLJSummit! If you went to @cuethelibrarian’s session instead of mine, you still had a great time but “missed” my stuff. Never fear, I got y’all.

Hearing @lizzo play some of the Library's priceless antique instruments on Monday was such a gift, and we were honored and happy to help her share that gift with her concert audience Tuesday night. Here is some more behind-the-scenes footage of her Library tour. #LizzoAtLOC

Thank you @sljournal for this important survey on the impacts of this year on practicing librarians. Paints a better picture of this moment in time. #mustread schoollibraryjournal.com/sto…
As a solo librarian @ a HS w/3000 Ss, I’ve fought hard to not be saddled w/Chromebooks but I feel like the inevitable is about to happen. Am I crazy to fight it? Or should I just let it happen? Is this what my career will be now? 90% text/Chromebooks & 10% actual library work? – at Victorville, CA

One librarian has had enough of the ‘false narrative’ that libraries are serving porn to kids via books with LGBTQ themes. She’s fighting back in court. nbcnews.to/3pkqtKR
Yes! Love doing this - students think it is SO COOL and I feel better because I can upcycle manga that has been destroyed! And, the best part? It takes VERY LITTLE work and supervision on my part! 😂 – at Victorville, CA
I stole @emratica’s idea of using spent manga as bookmarks. I have some that are laminated and a bunch that aren’t, and some of my students like coloring them. I’ve also done big coloring pages from iconic magazine scenes (copied, blown up on my copier).

How about some FREE PD to jumpstart you back into school mode?? I’m going to be presenting on #GraphicNovels (shocking!!) you should buy this fall. There are tons of other awesome sessions too. 🎉🎉#LibraryTwitter #SchoolLibraries #BossLibrarianPD Tinyurl.com/bosslibrarianpd
