They voted to remove Push & limit access to The Bluest Eye to students who are 18+ with parent permission. The comments during public hearing do not support their decision. The rubric scores for Push does not support their decision, but the rubric scores for The Bluest Eye did support restriction.

You are the only gift anyone needs and I am sure your contact info is part of your presentations and in the program, so take those recommendations as just that - recommendations and not must-dos. Additionally, those recommendations cost time and money that not everyone will have.

These three bring us joy, so maybe they will also bring you joy.

Something I struggle with and there’s not a lot out there. I’ve thought about Carl Hiaasen but he’s either young reader or adult. Terry Pratchett, but the length of his books and fantasy can be a turn off for some.

But now, I realize that I am training them to bring their returns to the circ desk at any other libraries that they use. Thinking about how to teach them about different procedures (hand over/book drop) for universal library processes (returning books) so that they can be lifelong library patrons.

We don’t have a book drop, so handing it to us is the only way to return it.

There’s something beautiful about reading this as I am getting ready on the same type of morning and feeling the same.

I bought both this and Millie Fleur’s Poison Garden at the same time because they are perfect together!

Thank you! It looks like our Creative Writing elective won’t be offered next year, so I am excited to share this with those students.

I love it!!!

Loved Dragonfruit.

I would also recommend Blazewrath Games and its sequel.

CA Ed Code 89535 an and b is an example of that past belief still holding sway today.

Well, I’d like it to be politicians! I suppose professions with security clearances have guidelines for types, places, and what is shown in regards to personal posts.

I’m seeing this in the high school library too. Which means I need to prioritize ordering philosophy books that will engage them.

And even when StoryGraph doesn’t have the book , the process of adding it isn’t too time consuming.
