I fundamentally believe that higher ed reform needs to begin by protecting the mission and labor of libraries

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

This is an edifying summary of what is happening at the supreme court and a strong defense of Justice Jackson

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.

These stories amount to "the left was so annoying about pronouns or liberals made people feel so guilty about plastic straws they had no choice but to get on board with the second coming of the Third Reich and the destruction of the planet."

One of my teens is a linear thinker and she has to change every essay she writes in this same way. The other is more discursive and she has had better luck so far but it’s only a matter of time.

Posts about books bans and censorship are bringing out the easy to block bots and trolls. This is a non negotiable to me: freedom to read is a bedrock of librarianship. #schoollibrarians, #skybrarians

Audiobooks AND read alouds! All the options:) We find students are more likely to finish books when they have the option of listening and/or reading. Isn’t it about the “goal”? my hope for them is joy, engagement, an opening up of their experience - why not try it all? #schoollibrarian

We are up 1,000 in our circ data so far this year, too - and in library visits, etc. Have also been working hard to develop a reading culture at our middle school. Team effort, including supportive library admin that invested in new books and donors who made our library cozy❤️

Thank you so much for this thread. Have had many conversations similar to: “she’s not lazy or incompetent, she really can’t load the dishwasher” Visual processing affects so much. #nvld

Are school districts not seeing these studies? Not caring? The NYTimes also did a whole series on edtech that had me, as a school librarian, using collection funds on analog books only.

A lot of people have shared this poem over the past week. It’s a sentiment I think about a lot, especially now. I hope everyone is doing what they need to take care of themselves. One step at a time. One day at a time.

Our 8th grade now uses this book as part of an ELA unit after a teacher saw me use it in a library read aloud. It’s a great pic book for older readers!
