for the most part, most people working as librarians in the US did not wake up, head to work, and wonder, What are the chances I’m going to be charged with a crime for letting someone take out a book today? vanityfair.com/news/17-states…
One of these is a Republican that believes in local government, the other is just fighting a non-existent culture war. #idpol
This is why we won't give up. This is why we persist. It's not about "saving libraries" just to save them. It's about what libraries represent and the services they provide to children, to parents, to grandparents, to single people. It's about people's lives and freedoms.

"I think the solace that I take is that if what we did was irrelevant, the book banners would leave us be. They obviously believe we have the power to support people reading and thinking freely..." @GeometricRabbit publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in…
Honest talk on "school choice". 🧵 We have a son who is having a hard time in public school as resources are stretched thin. So we applied him for private school hoping the smaller class size would help with teachers that are not always feeling like their job is under fire.
“So if children are given opportunities to read many different things they’re going to develop discernment. They don’t have to believe every single thing they read, but they need different points of view.” wcjb.com/2024/04/21/ban…
Library books are used and returned for the next reader, making them a sustainable resource for environmentally conscious bibliophiles. #lovetheplanet #greenliving #earthconscious #earthdayeveryday ow.ly/KqfG50Rk4iY
Greater Idaho proponents are protesting that the Oregon Legislature doesn’t listen to them, but why would they think the Idaho Legislature will be any different? They ignored comments and voted in the library bill against the will of the people. idahocapitalsun.com/2024/04/18/the… #idpol
Tiny children getting their first library card is the thing that gets me through the day a lot- like a well mannered three year old matter of factly telling you her birthday and accepting a sticker is a real shot in the arm after someone yells at you about the printer.
Don’t worry if your little one can’t sit still; library story hours are great for all kids! action.everylibrary.org/library_storyt…
The thing that we have to realize is that a lot of these anti-public school politicians and interest groups have a vested interest in promoting conspiracies and downright lies in order to undermine the public education system and cast doubt on the value of public education. 2/
I've worked for @dcpl for 8 years and 6 months. When people ask me why I work for public libraries and don't work for the Library of Congress or wherever, I tell them this story. I still talk to this guy from time to time. He spent most of his life in jail.
If you can, I recommend updating your reconsideration policy to restrict challenge submissions to only people in your school community, limit the number of challenges they can submit each year to a few, and limit how many times a title can be challenged to once every few years.

We made it official: I’ll be on the ballot in November as the Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor! I’m so excited about this new opportunity to serve the people of Utah, and I’m ready to get to work.
A parent to her child in the library: "Stop that right now. Look, the librarian is getting mad at you!" "Actually I'm getting mad at YOU, sorry for the confusion."
The dress code for the 2024 Met Gala will be “The Garden of Time.” The dress code takes inspiration from a short story of the same title, written by J.G. Ballard in 1962

Have y’all heard the bonk bonk bonk song about the jug?
"Despite what some adults seem to think, teenagers are fully human. And some of them read as intensely and keenly as if their life depended on it. Sometimes maybe it does." Ursula Le Guin.
My basic model of student protests is that in general students don't know shit about what they're protesting against, they do it because it's cool, makes them feel like they're part of something important and they want to be with their friends. In the vast majority of cases,…
one thing people severely misjudge about what makes something YA is they assume “teen” means vapid/silly/not-serious when it’s actually the complete opposite; teens care deeply about big problems, big questions, things that matter existentially. It’s adults who gravitate to fluff

Nothing is more of a threat to extremism than talking about their support of hate ideology loudly & often. Hate groups are publicly arguing about racism & fascism being a bad look. One thing these arguing factions still have in common is their hate of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors.
For reasons not entirely clear to me, I just watched seven-minute video about beavers that started with people airdropping beavers into the mountains to get them out of Idaho and it turns out that the beavers turned out to be really good at preservation and firefighting.
Grooming was a practiced careful manipulation and assault of a kid that loved someone and believed he was someone that should protect her. That’s what a groomer is. The danger isn’t in the books. The danger is in the people. It always has been.
My husband has been doing gardening all afternoon and he has been scheduling his friends in shifts to come and sit with him while he does it so he has company. He is not asking for their help. He just wants them to be present. He has given each a watermelon popsicle.
