I am sincerely honored to have served on ALA's jury for the 2023 Schneider Family Book Award. This award recognizes children's and YA books that best represent the artistic expression of the disability experience. A big shout out to the other wonderful members of the 2023 jury!

I am incredibly honored to have been selected as @yalsa's Member of the Month for January. Here is a link: ala.org/yalsa/https%3A…


Nothing in my 25 years of librarianship has been more meaningful for me than helping to create two shelves to honor the memory of @RMSortn's long time library assistant Carol Husband. She worked for 20 years in the library, and her legacy will live on through these donated books.

Thanks to fellow taskforce member Amy for sending these photos from @yalsa's Symposium. It has been two weeks since the conference, & I am still thinking about all of the ideas and concepts I encountered in sessions and author panels. Still inspired....#yalsa22

I know the UT Vols are playing Georgia on Saturday, but I would rather be at the @yalsa Symposium listening to A.S. King at the MAE Luncheon and then touring the famous Enoch Pratt Library in the evening. #YALSA22

Fluffy and I are in this month's School Library Journal @sljournal in an article about children's picture books. Thanks to Margaret Kingsbury for asking me to contribute my thoughts on the disability experience for children.

Fluffy has been rereading all of @DustiBowling 's books to prepare for her presentations at @RMSortn on October 31 and November 2. A student asked him about his favorite novel by Dusti Bowling. He replied "I love them all. They are better than bacon!"
