Sometimes it's nice to accomplish a goal that has no importance other than that you decided to try for it and then you accomplished it. In a world where so much is out of our control--where other people and even just larger forces get to dictate how you spend your time or where you live or what thoughts you're allowed to express (and some days, all three)--it can be an outsized thing, working towards a goal you chose yourself, and then accomplishing it under your own effort. This year I wanted to read 180 books in 180 school days. I've done more in the past, when I had fewer obligations on my time, but this year 180 was a reach, and I'm pleased to have done it. Sometimes that's all that matters. #goals #reading #bookstagram #library #librarian #librariesofinstagram #teenlibrarian #booklove #booklover #libraryschool #selfcare #wellness #MalibuHigh (at Malibu High School)

For #riotgrams day 7, Well-loved Reads, I give you our student #bookrec display, with notecard recommendations. Some of them are also well-loved in the euphemistic sense (^_−)−☆ #bookrecs #teenlibrarian #middleschoollibrary #highschoollibrary #schoollibrary #fantasyfiction #yalit #youngadult #middlegrade #bookstagram #booklove #booklover #librarian #librariesofinstagram #malibuhigh (at Malibu High School)

#riotgrams day 6: Number Titles. Shout-out to my 6th grade friend who helped me locate all these 😘😘WE HAVE A THEME 😉#middleschoollibrary #highschoollibrary #teenlibrarian #bookstagram #booklove #classics #punny #yalit #youngadult #middlegrade #malibuhigh (at Malibu High School)

#riotgrams day 2: yellow book cover. I give you American Born Chinese, which my 6th graders noticed matches front to back (and hardcover to paperback). Have I recommended this book before? If not: Recommend. (Though #middleschool readers will benefit from having an adult help them untangle the complex plot and racist issues.) #bookrec #bookstagram #graphicnovel #teenlibrarian #malibuhigh (at Malibu High School)

Spontaneous waffle party for our senior TAs' last day of high school EVER! Good luck, and we've loved having y'all in the library this year. #seniors #grads #malibuhigh #partyinthelibrary (at Malibu High School)

Never dreamed when I was reading the original web comic that Nimona would wind up the summer reading for 9th and 10th grades and then the #bookclub pick for 4/5 #middleschool clubs. Last kids turning it in today, and I can't wait to discuss it one more time. Thanks, @gingerhazing! #MalibuHigh ❤️💕s you. #teenlibrarian #middleschoollibrary #booklover #graphicnovel #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram (at Malibu High School)

Seriously, have you READ The Wizard of Oz?? So good! Both a great adventure and the kind of book that will make kids feel smart for catching on. #americanclassic #readtogether #booklove #bookstagram #librariesofinstagram #middleschoollibrary #malibuhigh (at Malibu High School)
