📚❤️ Started my new library job at my daughter’s school, and it’s book fair time. And guess whose book just happened to be there???

The X ecosystem is entering a new phase. Today, Platform X officially introduces X Wallet — a wallet designed as a core access point to the entire X infrastructure. Alongside this launch, we are opening the Xcoin presale, available exclusively through X Wallet. Access X Wallet and join the Xcoin presale here: xwallet.network What is X Wallet? X Wallet is more than a place to store digital assets. It is a functional gateway into the X ecosystem — built with a focus on security, usability, and scalability. With X Wallet, users can: - securely manage digital assets, - interact directly with Platform X services, - participate in ecosystem-level mechanics without intermediaries. X Wallet is designed to grow alongside the platform, unlocking additional features as the ecosystem expands.

@sophiagholz This sounds fantastic!! Will definitely be purchasing for my Florida nature center friends :)

I cannot tell you how excited I am to finally be able to share this news! This book is deeply inspired by my life growing up in Florida and all of my friends, their kiddos, and my fellow creek crawlers. This one is for you! IYKYK 🥹🥰 🐚🌊🦦🐍🪨🌳

I’m looking for more middle grades fiction books for my environmental activism book clubs. I have a lot, but trying to see which I’m missing. Help, please.

@MmeLisa_Lewis 💯!!

@Jess__Red Thank you for this post. Reading aloud is pure magic. #schoollibraryjoy

📚 ❤️ #Teachers, I hope you know that when you read aloud, your students come to the #library clamoring for more books by that author…and for more books about that topic… and just for MORE BOOKS! I can’t think of anything that inspires a child to read more than being read to.

@FarnsworthK @RobBuyea @nielsenwriter You've given such a gift to each of your classes, Kelly! It's so awesome. 📚💙

@Jess__Red So far I’ve read Because of Mr Terupt @RobBuyea , A Night Divided @nielsenwriter , and currently reading The Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt, and then The Miraculous next quart @Jess__Red

@RTG_TutorGuitar Love this! She wanted to pass on the book love 😍📚

@Jess__Red I have seen this happen time and time again. A student gave me the gift of The Mighty Miss Malone because her teacher read it to her, and she loved it so much she wanted me to have a copy. Then she asked if we could read it together! Over and over, this happens. Teachers rock!

@aslan_magic I always knew it made an impact, but being in the library now I see firsthand how HUGE that impact is! It’s awesome.

@Jess__Red 100%!

📚 Middle school #librarian friends! I ran a book club at my last job at a nature center, and it was awesome. So of course, I want to start one at my school. Got any tips? Book recs?
