I just saw The Librarians today at WNED Studios as part of the Buffalo International Film Festival. If you haven't seen it and are against book banning (which you should be if you're my friend), you should go see it as soon as it is available in your area. Infuriating that this is happening in 2025!

The Librarians Film @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social · Sep 5

As book banning sweeps across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate, brave librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy. A film by Kim A. Snyder.

Joey McIntyre wrote the forward. I listened to this and she reads it. It was like reliving my childhood. I grew up about 40 minutes from her. I was not aware of all her health issues later in life. A good read for those GenX. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? I read both of these when I was looking for a good story about responsibility. I went with Nat. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #kidlit 📚👍

Just finished perusing this list on my prep time…
It has absolutely stellar book recs 📚👍
Some of my absolute faves are here. #ReadAlike recs are fab too.

This would be especially helpful for #TLsky & #skybrarians newer to Libraryland, wanting to know what they’ve missed.

The next book in the popular @kayke series. Olive is at summer camp, and two of her good friends are fighting and keep putting Olive in the middle! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #kidlit 👍 📚

Finished listening to this earlier this week. While I'm not a parent, I do work with the same kids for up to 6 years. They come to me as babies in UPK and leave me as people in 4th grade. The days are long but the years are fast! #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian

What's Mrs Pierce Reading? It. Goes. So. Fast.

She had such a complicated childhood. Her dad was a piece of work! I don't know if I could've loved him unconditionally the way she did. I guess it all made her who she is. And I find her incredibly funny and intelligent. #mrspierceisreading #bookstagram #bookthreads #skybooks #librarian #books
