Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I’ve mentioned this before, but if you’re short on cash but have an urge to shop, go to your library digital apps and browse the books, audiobooks, movies, shoes, magazines. It works really well to give you the same feeling without spending the cash. (Plus you’re supporting public libraries.) 💙📚

What does a group of privileged white male politicians know about oppression?
Republicans pushed a bill firing all workers in offices related to DEI - because according to them, diversity oppresses white men. I gave a vocabulary lesson on the meaning of oppression.

H.R. 9494, the attack on non-profits bill, has passed the house.
But it went from being supported by 52 Dems to just 15.
Time to get on your Senator's case and halt the bill there.

Okay, one of the things Twitter was really good for was sounding the alarm & driving calls to Congress when terrible legislation came up for a vote.
Bluesky, IT'S TIME. H.R. 9495 would allow Trump to shut down any nonprofit by claiming they're "terrorists"

Book Bans Harm Kids
Censoring what children read deprives them of reality and the chance to feed their curiosity and develop empathy

Please support your school libraries. Studies have shown that schools with certified school librarians and strong library programs have students who tend to earn better test scores.

School libraries in Yakima Valley feel the pinch as districts cut back
School libraries and librarians play a key role in students' learning. But school districts are making tough budget decisions in the face of budget challenges and inflation.

Yep, for two legislative sessions now, in fact.
They prefiled two anti-library bills for 2025 already.
Alabama Public Library Services already decided not to renew membership with the ALA, which means they do not believe in the profession AS a profession.

Hey Texas #booksky -Katy ISD added 14 titles to their list of “removed” (ie: banned) books last week- bringing the total books banned since August 2024 to 34.
Visit www.txftrp.org/katy_isd_ban... for the complete list, and action you can take to fight for the freedom to read in Katy ISD.

The same Republicans trying to put a man accused of child sex trafficking at the top of the DOJ and an anti-vaxxer atop HHS, are telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care & books with two mommies is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’
Bullshit.
