So many highlights from @LITapalooza these last 2 days! I can’t even pick a favorite moment, but my #TBR pile has been arranged and rearranged about 17 times in the last 30 hours. Thanks to all at Anderson's Bookshops who make this event possible! 📚📚

“It’s official. The universe hates me.” I love books with great first lines, and Saadia Faruqi’s new book The Partition Project has a great one! Maha has great voice in this story of family and frustration and finding out how where/who you come from really does shape who you are.

“Once you’ve seen something, you couldn’t unsee it.” Jasmine Warga’s upcoming middle grade mystery A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall is perfect for mystery fans and also students who might know what it feels like to be alone.

Trying to make all the great new books that I’m presenting to teachers tomorrow fit into a suitcase… 🤣🤪😬 📚📚📚#BackToSchool #LibrarianProblems

These MelzerMLions 5th graders showed great perseverance when they completed this #DotDay Breakout EDU during Library!

At 905mb and with 180mph winds, Milton has just become the 8th strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. It is still strengthening and headed for Florida

To say that I’m proud of my MelzerMLions #BattleOfTheBooks team is a vast understatement. They worked really hard, read a LOT of books, and won their first Battle of the season. Niles-Maine Library
