Percy Priest Library (Emmie Stuart)

@BiblicalBeauty A few of these have already been suggested: :) The Vienna Prelude series Emma M. Lion series Ann Rinaldi’s historical fiction novels Rosamunde Pilcher’s Coming Home Gary Schmidt’s novels The high school Betsy Tacy books A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (my all-time favorite)

Any recommendations for a quality book series for a soon-to-be 15 year-old girl that are enjoyable to read and aren’t woke, perverse, or otherwise cruddy in content? She has enjoyed books like Nancy Drew, Wingfeather Saga, and Chronicles of Narnia in the past.

Later this week I’ve got 20 hours in the car by myself — what’s a good audiobook you’ve listened to lately? My criteria: Fiction or non-fiction is fine, but the narrator has to be quality, and it can’t be so deep/complicated that I have to choose between concentrating on it or the road.

#HBOutoftheBox: It's time for #HB100 #TriviaTuesday! This week: "Which illustrator created these six original covers for #HBMag's 1994 issues?" Share your guess in the comments; the answer will be revealed later today: hbook.com/story/horn-boo…

@c_hen83 One of these 1st graders brought his string to the library and showed me his “mind power”. They’ll remember this exercise/concept for a years to come. PPE is so fortunate to have you on board!

I sometimes get asked, “What age is it appropriate to start learning these mindset concepts?” My reply sounds something like, “When is it good to start eating healthy or be kind to others? It’s never too early.” Most schools teach us what to think but not HOW to think. #mindset

@jerniganlib @MNPSLibraries Knight Owl!

I have been doing a Mock Caldecott unit with my 4th Grade PLT group. We read them, scored them with a rubric, ranked them, and voted on them. Here is our almost completed bracket. Can you guess the winner? #mockcaldecott @MNPSLibraries #mnpsreads

Many thanks to all of our #MNPSPineapplePD hosts! Participants were treated to 8 outstanding library visits and engaging sessions! 🍍@TwoLibrary @ITCreswellreads @JGHornets @librarykraft @GMS_Trojans @jemosslibrary @edisoneslib @PPE_Library #mnpslibraries

Tweeting a few days late (per usual)…LOVED presenting with @WBE_Library at the @TASLTN conference! A big thanks to @jerniganlib for a phenomenal three days!

@Library_LauraC I read this one to my first graders this year too! 🐶♥️

Happy tears in the library! Reading Madeline Finn and the Library Dog with a first grade class and we got to the big climax of the story (puppies!). One little boy, eyes streaming with tears, says, "Ms. C, I'm so happy that I think I'm crying?! What is happening to me?!"

So proud of these readers! 100 books! 🤩

@nkkeene @PPETigers They are so lucky to be in your class! 🥰

So much to be thankful for. These kiddos and this place rank at the top. ⁦@PPETigers⁩ #allsmiles

@KarinaYanGlaser @Tish_H_Warren @nytopinion @soontornvat @jackcheng @sharonmdraper Two of my favorite authors! I love Tish’s piece and all of your recommendations! ♥️

Honored to have been interviewed by @Tish_H_Warren for her @nytopinion newsletter! I always love getting questions about book recommendations, and I recommended books by @soontornvat, Mildred D. Taylor, @jackcheng, and @sharonmdraper. ❤️

Thank-you @LindsKAnderson for driving all the way over to see Narnia!

Wrapping up the week with a HUGE thank you to the MNPS Librarians who hosted our 1st #MNPSPineapplePD! It was only fitting that they each received a pineapple for their hospitality and collaborative spirit! @MetroSchools #mnpslibhack

What a joy to spend the day with these wonderful colleagues as we learned from fellow librarians! Thank you, @TannerDeFran, @jeromesgnomes, @Library615, and @PPE_Library for sharing your space and your expertise for our Elementary Pineapple PD! #mnpslibhack @MNPSLibraries

@sylvanparklib @MNPSLibraries @areynoldsbooks @itspeterbrown I LOVE THIS! 🥕🐰

It's that time of year in the library... Thank you @areynoldsbooks and @itspeterbrown for your books! They are favorites around here!

#CallingCaldecott: @emmie_stuart on @micha_archer's "Wonder Walkers" (@nancyrosep/@penguinkids): "I take my students out for nature walks around the grounds of our school...Archer’s poetic words + multilayered illus give new depth + meaning to our walks." hbook.com/?detailStory=w…

Books and children are the heart of the library. With memorable stories as their foundation, library lessons incoporate open art, creative explorations, and play-based learning. @MetroSchools @PPE_Library #EveryStudentKnown #EverySchoolKnown #EveryLibraryKnown

3rd & 4th graders visited “Percy’s Library Cafe” and enjoyed bites of books across 5 genres. #mnpslibhack #teacherlibrarian #elementarylibrary @MNPSLibraries
