Finished HAUNTED U.S.A. by Heather Alexander w/art by Sam Kalda. This well-researched collection of one page spooky stories/folklore/legends (one from each state plus DC) will thrill & satisfy readers looking for the stories behind the scare. More chills than jump scares here. #MGLit

Last thing I did before leaving school today was hide 230 mini bows throughout the media center. Had to do something to follow up the dinosaur hunts from Dino-vember! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky

We’re working 2 days this week—early release days for kids, full days for teachers to do conferences. It was so nice of the PTSA to treat teacher members to lunch today!

Thank you for your service @exlibrismrhunt.bsky.social ! THIS is the kind of review school librarians need.

Wow! The gatefold (?) in the middle of the story…a huge, four-page, upward foldout is quite spectacular (though I’ll need to do some creative strengthening processing before putting it into kids hands hands).

Crochet club is making progress on their coffee cup cozies! A few are finished & many are well underway. While there was some resistance at first to doing a project together instead of everyone doing their own thing, they're proud of having something to show for their efforts. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky

Relieved to find my senior goldendoodle able to get up with assistance and stand & walk by herself when I got home from work today. My plan for the weekend is to stay close to home to keep an eye on her and keep her calm. So hard to watch…

Another trip to the emergency vet w/my senior goldendoodle last night. She couldn’t stand when I got home from work but when we got to the vet she was fairly steady on her feet. Got new meds & slept on the couch so she had fewer stairs to climb. Going to be hard to leave her today…

Today’s Silent Book Club book stack, a little after the fact. We had 35 kids from grades 3-5 today across 3 sessions. Didn’t get through all the books, but laughed my way through THE MUSHROOM OF DOOM. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

Feeling a little better about leaving my pup today. She’s getting her legs under herself a little more smoothly and is steadier today. Hoping she continues to rest on the couch in the sunlight until I get home.

Last full week of school in Dino-vember, so this week's This or That question had to be dinosaur themed, right? I'm curious to see how this one will turn out! #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky

Sick to my stomach about leaving my super senior goldendoodle to go to work today. I haven’t left her for more than 30 minutes since I got home on Friday. Hopefully she’ll just sleep all day.

In honor of the release of a new Dog Man book, last week's This or That poll in the media center was Dog Man or Captain Underpants. There was a lot of hemming & hawing going on before votes were cast! Eventually Dog Man came out on top. #SchoolLibrary #TLSky #EduSky #kidlit

My super senior goldendoodle slept through the night & ate breakfast. She's resting comfortably while I'm sniffling from the sinus infection I now have from tears & stress. Just ordered a long runner to make it easier for her to manage the floors. Hopefully it'll be a calm, restful weekend.
