Noon has always been a late bloomer—until her coastal town became choked with a strange red algae. When neighbors start to disappear, she must reckon with the monsters itching at her skin and the past that’s come calling.

I know I am screaming into the void, but AI is going to disrupt the classroom in ways we are not prepared for.

On a very basic level, we can not expect educators to learn the ins and outs of AI as it evolves without providing them with any training at all.

I'm so looking forward to next week's 'Open Books, Open Minds' SchoolLibraryJournal virtual event with Donalyn Miller & Saadia Faruqi! Hope you'll sign up to join us (it's free!) - libraryjournal.com/event/Open-Boo…

Happy 224th Birthday to the Library of Congress!

Christina Soontornvat is signing copies of MADE IN ASIAN AMERICAN and YOU ARE HERE today! If you’re at the Texas Library Association conference, drop by to say hello to the wonderful Christina! #TXLA2024

At #txla24 , I was fortunate to acquire an ARC of Amanda Jones: Defender of Libraries & Wonder’s That Librarian, her memoir about the book banning and hatred she has experienced in her hometown. An important and heartbreaking story about unchecked power, bigotry, & fear mongering—and the people who are fighting it.

Today is National High Five Day. Yep, that’s really a thing. It’s the perfect day to support a local independent bookseller by purchasing the #LGBTQ -themed middle grade novel A HIGH FIVE FOR GLENN BURKE and the nonfiction picture book, GLENN BURKE, GAME CHANGER.

I’ll be in the Bookelicious booth (1907) with Kelly Yang and Donalyn Miller tomorrow! #TXLA24
