*Updated* my starter pack of KidLit/YA Agents (if link doesn't work, go to my Profile, look under Starter Packs) but hit max 50 accts. Also see KidLit/YA Agents feed.

Never query agents on Bluesky without permission; do your research to make sure they are legit/the right fit for you.

Had a lovely conversation with a school library student who is a veteran teacher this morning as part of her library librarian and leadership class. I love sharing the wonderful things about our profession with future librarians. 🥰

Last first Green Mountain Book Award committee meeting tonight! Can’t wait to get my hands on some new 2024 YA books! It’s weird and awesome that I have been on this committee for 6 years.

Spent two days out sick this week. Lucky not strep which has been going around. 😮‍💨 With more rest today, I was finally able to get out of bed and spend a bit of time outside.

Back to the grind but it’s nice feeling busy! On one hand, there’s many exciting things to look forward to at the end of this year. On the other hand, the worry of our next round of school budget cuts and what that may mean for my program weighs heavy. #tlchat #vted
