Dear #LibrarianTwitter, let it be known that today Hallie & I achieved peak #TeenLibrarian status by making our own genre wheel that teens can spin to help them decide what to read next, with bookmarks color-coded to match. 👌📚

Agreed. And to do this you need to know your students, and they need to know you so they'll trust your recommendation - enough to give a book a shot anyway
