Hey friends, it sounds like news about Inkyard is beginning to make waves. I don't have my thoughts together yet on my departure, but did want to share some amazing books that are upcoming this Fall or have recently released that I've had the privilege of working on.
So sad to hear about Inkyard. I was sent so many ARCs and bought so many titles for my collection. The representation was a great example of what we've been fighting for years to see in publishing. Sad day.
This teen session is the biggest session I've been in... I don't know how I feel about that. But congrats to these presenters.
I suspect that one of the most powerful sentences I will here at #alaac23 was just said by Federico Salas-Isnardi "Without literacy, there is no equity."
Really hoping my plane thats been delayed twice makes it to #alaac23 or everyone in this airport is going to hear it because I'm presenting tomorrow one way or another. 🤷🏽♀️
@technojohnson @ctcasl @aasl @MsThomBookitis @jluss Thank you!!!
@jlawmedia @LibraryJournal Thank you!! It's been hard keeping it quiet but I'm really excited about the recognition.
The news is already starting to circulate. A big thank you to my coworker who nominated me and @LibraryJournal for selecting me! libraryjournal.com/story/kymberle… - Kymberlee Powe | Movers & Shakers 2023—Educators # Library Journal

What does it say about me that I'm literally the ONLY person I know who doesn't want to have meetings in person...
Did I stop my whole life to make sure that it really was @guyraz narrating the documentary that I'm watching because I'd know his voice ANYWHERE??? Yes. Yes I did. And yes. I was right! #podcastlife
@HearOurVoicesBT is hunting for folx to join our PB book tours for You So Black forms.clickup.com/14254462/f/dk0… & Grandad's Pride forms.clickup.com/14254462/f/dk0…. We're looking for BIPOC & LGBT folx and educators. As much as I love YA & MG, these PB's deserve some love.
A man wearing a Snorlax plushie backpack is standing near me and I want it so bad.
Can't wait to hear from @AlvinIrby on the reading identity of black boys. 15 minutes to go!
@TyBooks01 @booksenvogue Yay!!! I've been looking for something like this!
Watching Tracie Hall speak on digital equity. So much work needs to be done. "1 in 5 Americans are disconnected and unable to participate in digital environments." It's not just about school, there is a link between reading & digital literacy and socio-economic mobility.
@bb_alston I love the acknowledgement of librarians. Irs wild how often we're left out of conversations.
