Links I Shared on Twitter this Week: December 15: Bookish Giving, Diverse BookLists + Love for #Librarians
December 15, 2017
Here are highlights from the links that I shared on Twitter this week @JensBookPage. It's a fairly brief list today, probably because we're all getting too busy for blogging around the holidays. (I know I am!) Topics this week include #BookLists, #DiverseBooks, #literacy, #math, #ReadAloud, #STEM, awards, charitable giving, Cybils, growing bookworms, and libraries.
