Holy smokes - thank you, Texas librarians!!! I couldn't be more thrilled that THE TROUBLE WITH HEROES has been named to the 2026-2027 Texas Bluebonnet Award List! And in such incredible company, too - congrats to all of the authors & illustrators!

Here's the full list: txla.org/news/2026-20...

Below is a graphic showing small thumbnails of 20 books with a red outline of Texas and text in blue "2026-2027 List"

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯

Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚

And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋

A2: The New Kid by Jerry Craft. Worth it because it called attention to a healthy, loving Black family adjusting through awkwardness of middle school. It's worth protecting b/c it was a mirror for Black kids and NOT a trauma-vampire story for our culture. #TLSkyChat

🔁 ICYMI Here again is question #2 from tonight’s #TLSkyChat!

More info about tonight’s chat can be found at tlskychat.com
Slide labeled “Question #2” for #TLSkyChat. Text reads: “Q2: Share a book that has been challenged but continues to make an impact in your library. Why is it worth protecting?” Left panel lists reminders to use #TLSkyChat, look for Q1–Q3, and start responses with A1–A3. Illustration shows a blue shield with a yellow check mark. Footer says, “Resources can be found at tlskychat.com.”

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#BannedBooksWeek #CensorshipIsSo1984 #LibrarySky
Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

Jasper Rabbit fans ready for more will love new chapter book TROUBLING TONSILS! by Aaron Reynolds w/art by Peter Brown. Readers meet Charlie Marmot, who plans to keep his tonsils in a jar after they're removed, but is it a good idea? Perfect mix of humor & horror. #kidlit 📚👍🏻

Cover of TROUBLING TONSILS! by Aaron Reynolds with art by Peter Brown. A marmot with wide eyes and a wide open mouth is surrounded by a red glow. The title is in red text in the space inside the marmot's open mouth.

Any Junie B Jones fans? My daughters refuse to read the graphic novel because they loved Junie B so much growing up (we read every book), and they say this doesn't look like her. 😀 #tlskychat #books #LaborDayreading

This is a great opportunity for school librarians! My school was one of last year’s lucky recipients and the books have been a wonderful addition to our collection. #TLSky
