I want to live in a country where they deploy federal troops to do neighborhood beautification projects, build habitat for humanity homes, and provide free medical services like vaccine clinics. Where they visit with elderly folks, play sports with kids, and walk dogs at the animal shelter.

If Audrey Plaza was a private eye, she would be the main character of this darkly humorous, coming of age, detective novel. Good for YA and adult readers. #skybrarians #bookrecommendations #readersofbluesky #books #reading

Today in our Library Club we used a Draw So Cute YouTube video tutorial to draw Derpy Tiger from KPop Demon Hunter. It was hard and the kids did so well with it! #skybrarians #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #elementarylibrary

Absolutely one of my favorites of Taylor Jenkins Reid, right along with Seven Husbands and Carrie Soto. #bookrecommendations #booksky

To love a child is to be forever saying goodbye to the child they used to be and falling in love with the person they’re becoming. @taylorjenkinsreid.bsky.social 😭 ♥️

A magical family and cultural history following three generations of women as they struggle to make sense of the personal and political tragedies unfolding around them. A beautiful read for historical fiction fans and armchair travelers. #readersofbluesky #booksky #bookreccomendations

Kathy Valence’s job is to shepherd souls from their death to eternity. But when one of her charges goes rogue, it’s up to her to find out why. In the process, she confronts her own deep childhood wounds and learns how to love and be loved. Recommend for offbeat mystery readers. #booksky #bookclub

Former Atlanta police officer turned house cleaning business owner tracks down the killer of a con artist nanny and foils corrupt land development deal. A breezy beachy read for mystery fans. #booksky #bookrecommendations

Re-read Anne of Green Gables a few years ago and was amazed at the abundance of detailed botanical descriptions. Every page felt like forest bathing.

Accidentally read a romance.

Two journalists compete for their dream story and, predictably, fall in love. Medium spicy. A good beach read for people who like that sort of thing. #booksky #romance #bookrecommendations

After Congress stripped away funding for @npr.org and @pbs.org, a lot of us are wondering how we can best support the most vulnerable stations. My former NPR colleague Alex Curley created this "Adopt A Station" website to help you find (and donate to) the stations most at risk. adoptastation.org

Adopt A Station - Rescue Public Media

Help preserve independent journalism and community programming across America by adopting a public media station. Congress has voted to rescind public media's funding.

I think a lot of people genuinely don’t know. And the other people might think the value of AI outweighs the cost and that the widespread adoption of AI is inevitable. I think it’s wild that Microsoft is making moves to restart Three Mike Island and it’s not even a footnote in conversations about Ai

1970s Minnesota farm country. A Native American man is found dead in a field. Cash Blackbear, a young Ojibwe woman with a rough upbringing is determined the find the killers. The plot is a little weak but the main character is compelling and the writing is rich. #booksky

I’ve been to a lot of professional development in the last two years about AI and literally ONE person even mentioned the environmental cost. It’s almost completely invisible.

Working on an upcoming presentation this morning and I discovered that ERIC was restarted after a one week lapse from DOGE cuts. The budget for it is slashed in half, but at least it’s been allowed to continue. #skybrarians #teachersofbluesky
