I had the honor of attending the #KirkusPrize this week under the sunset at 🗽Tribeca Rooftop. Thx to KIRKUS for the invitation to be a juror for this year’s Kirkus Prize for Young People’s Literature. 😊

Mama, I made it . . . this pin that is. 🤣
What started out on #Canva about 4 years ago is now tangible thanks to @rebelliouspins. 
Who's snagging theirs first? 🤔 All librarians aren't the same, but enough of y'all love pinning totes and denim jackets so come sell out this stock and maybe I'll re-up.

📣 We’re one day away! Tomorrow I’ll finally show you what I’ve been working on — and trust me, it’s worth the wait. That is, if you haven’t figured it out by now. Drop an emoji to let me know you’re ready for the full details.

Slowly rolling out what I’ve been working on. Here’s a new piece of the puzzle. Any guesses?

🚨 New drop! 🚨

🧑🏽‍🏫Teachers, librarians, changemakers—this one’s for you. My new MALCOLM LIVES! educator guide is here. It brings Malcolm X’s fight for truth + justice into the classroom with questions that don’t shy away from the hard stuff.

📚✨ Happy National School Librarian Day! Figured it’s a good time to re-introduce myself. I’m Erika Long, and I’m a librarian, computer science teacher, webmaster, and social media manager at my middle school.

Tennesseans, make yourself knowledgeable about his proposed Freedom to Read Act HB 0715.

The fact that there wasn’t even room for “standing room only” is a testament to the need and importance of this work. I am grateful to Rep. Jones for his continued commitment to intellectual freedom.

@brotherjones.bsky.social hosted the 1st Literary Day on the Hill today. This servant continues to fight the good fight for all the things that are right. Being in the room today was a balm.

I repurposed some lessons this qtr for my Mac class, but since it's Black History Month, I added a new one. Students researched Blacks in tech + created magazine covers in Pages. Of course that meant I needed to provide an exemplar for them. #applelearningcoach #appleteacher #appleedu

Our public library does #nashvillereads each year. This year they chose works by #JasonReynolds. I created a resource guide for educators that includes ideas and links to content that links to content to further explore his works. www.canva.com/design/DAF5c...
