Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Yes!!! This is my #LibraryGoals. Please share details on your bins, if youβre able!
How about Boys in the Boat? Not officially a memoir, itβs narrative nonfiction, but does focus primarily on one personβs life. I enjoyed the young reader edition (which Iβve heard is tighter than the original). Definitely a fast and exciting read! Good luck!
This makes me want to go back to the classroom so I can steal this unit. Incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Some of my colleagues and I make our own planners, bc our school is on a 6-day cycle, so the class/duty schedule changes each week.
Itβs a MASSIVE pain to createβ¦ but once itβs done? Amazing. Canβt recommend it enough! Hope you enjoy your custom planner as much as I enjoy mine!
Super interested in this! Hope youβll consider sharing the process in a blog post or on a website after youβve presented it at a conference!
So many great authors! I LOVED The Power so much! Hope you enjoy all of these!
Stealing this! Thanks for sharing!
Check out @debbieohi.com for lots of guidance!
I loved Tomorrowβ¦ Iβm in awe of that book!
Love this! So true! π€£π€£π€£
Do you have a Librarian one? Leave out the eye bags, stack of papers, and edits to the title and the rest is the same! π€£
Sold! Subscribed! Sat down and read the whole thing in one afternoon. Loved everything about it. Canβt wait to read more of your work!
Perfection.

And if they were planning the parade specifically for me, they nailed it! π₯·π’(see handle for confirmation)
Thankful for @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social for helping me get here and @debbieohi.com for helping me once I arrived here.
Thankful for being here more than the Bad Place!
Happy Thanksgiving, SkyPeople!
Doctorateβ¦ *drools* πππ
Yep, thatβs me: all training, plus certification in 3 states, plus masters was for elementary Ed. Iβm also in San Diego, where most elementary schools donβt even have librarians ππ©so itβs waaay off most ppls radar! Wish my school might pay for my MLIS, but afraid theyβll think Iβll jump ship!
Did you say βlibrary guinea pigsβ? And they recommend books?! π
Please more library guinea pig content! π
Wikipedia IS reliable in comparison! π€£
I agree, but itβs tricky. When the only path to be certified is a Masters program and many important skills are learned on the job, itβs tough to justify.
Full disclosure: Iβm a non-certified school librarian (private school). Would I love to be certified? Yes! Do I want a 2nd Masterβs? Nope.
βNAEP proficient is not synonymous with grade level. NAEP officials urge that proficient not be interpreted as reflecting grade level work. It is a standard set much higher than that. Scholarly panels have reviewed the NAEP achievement standards and found them flawed.β
When I see anyone refer to the βfactβ that 65% of kids are not proficient readers, I donβt trust anything else they say. This is either a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of the NAEP data. Since it is easy to figure this out, they are either idiots or lying.
Debbie, you are the most helpful person on Bluesky! I really appreciate everything you are doing to help folks have a good experience here! Many thanks!
Yes to all of this. And please: What show? π§
Iβm so happy to be here! Itβs like a private Twitter full of librarians! Everyone is so nice! π₯°
Love this! I put out two new books today (lovely gifts from parents, purchased off my wish list at book fair) and kids literally ran to be the first to read them! Gotta love book magic! β¨β¨β¨
I tell people about books like itβs my job! Oh, waitβ¦ π€£π€£π€£
Currently reading Rouge by Mona Awadβ¦ didnβt know anything about it except that itβs the current pick for NYPL Get Lit book club (last monthβs pick was Yellowface which I could not put down!) Just started it yesterday and itβs SO good! Mesmerizing! π

Oh I really want to steal this idea and do a Frog themed event for leap day! Genius!!! πΈ
Another MG giveaway! Thank you @joshfunkbooks.bsky.social π€
