Annually we choose a list of around 20-30 titles. Students vote them down to the top 10 and then Troybery Award winner. As part of Troybery, we host the Author Blitz, where we offer a virtual author visit every hour of the school day. Teachers from across curriculum tune in to these 30 minute author visits, where authors plead their case for students to read their books and vote for them. The librarians moderate the Q&A portion with pre-submitted and live questions. Teachers and students look forward to this event every year--we tell teachers, "Let your librarian do your lesson plans for the day!"

My friend Mike is back to chat about our different strategies for finding our next reads and keeping track of our TBR lists! 

Lindsey is a new friend I made on Bluesky. After years as a school librarian, she moved into school library administration. While our conversation isn't about a specific activity, Lindsey shares some great ideas for making our school libraries and resources more readily available; because it doesn't matter how great our libraries are if no one is using them!  Guest: Lindsey Kimery Grade(s) Taught: 6th-8th for 20 years; K-12 for 5 years Resources:  Removing Barriers to Access document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w80IM-ydBhXooyn5N7bUupeK7ww4md1PKfYKQD6jFSY/edit?tab=t.0 Book Break:  The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin Where to find Lindsey Kimery:  Website: https://www.mnps.org/learn/academics/library-services Handle: @LindsKimery (IG & X); @lindseykimery (bluesky) I can be found on: Bluesky, Instagram Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lindseykimery.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindskimery/ Check in with us, and check us out!

This episode was originally recorded for the second season of School Library Connection's "One Lesson at a Time" podcast.

Texan-by-way-of-the-Pacific-Northwest Heather is a Library Coordinator for a 52-school district, after having moved over to admin from the library. She now supports the school librarians in her district through a variety of means, several of which focus on the librarians' self-collected data. They use the data for quarterly reports. Unlike so much of the data collected in schools, Heather's school librarians are able to use this data to improve their practice and their students' experiences. Take a listen to hear Heather's explanation, and then be sure to check out the show notes for some examples you can use!  Guest: Heather Hornor Grade(s) Taught: All/central library administration Resources:  Library Impact Reports Lesson: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gM2k3z8JUm0PjJoU8iLA60_N9orAFtJs/view?usp=sharing  Book Break:  Immortal Longings, Book #1 of the Flesh and False Gods series by Choe Gong Where to find Heather Hornor:  I can be found on: Bluesky, Instagram Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/heatherpnwtx.bsky.social/post/3khevd3vaqa2g    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrs.hornor/    Check in with us, and check us out!

I made a new friend, and she is awesome! Illinois school librarian Jennifer Fox Eberle shared some pictures of an amazing "Library of Things" program and a super-cool cardboard haunted house activity her students did. When we started chatting, she mentioned an AMAZING program she does that kinda blew my mind. And she was kind enough to come share it with everyone!  Guest: Jennifer Eberle Grade(s) Taught: 6, 7, 8 Resources:  Writer's Week Staff Presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13FjeI2GF9MFlh0tPtps25CERG4uigtibF4xbNeQX86s/edit?usp=sharing  Book Break:  All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker Where to find Jennifer Eberle:  Handle: @msslibd95 I can be found on: Twitter, Bluesky Check in with us, and check us out!

Ryan and I first chatted a while back on the One Lesson at a Time podcast (which will be a Throwback episode here in the near future), and I was immediately struck by how Ryan managed to connect writing with the school library. In this episode, Ryan shares more suggestions to help school librarians support student writing.  Guest: Ryan Bani Tahmaseb Grade(s) Taught: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Book Break:  THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL by Drew Beckmeyer MAX & THE MIDKNIGHTS by Lincoln Peirce Where to find Ryan Bani Tahmaseb:  Website: ryantahmaseb.com Handle: @ryanbanitahmaseb I can be found on: Instagram, Facebook Instagram: instagram.com/RyanBaniTahmaseb Other Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-bani-tahmaseb-67b018267/  Check in with us, and check us out!
