I have a duty to the children to raise my library voice and say, "Free Palestine." It is not too dangerous to say. It is human decency. Palestinian people are worthy of tomorrow. We are human.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

Apple picking is here! and so is #kidlitartpostcard DON'T PICK ME! (I'm trying reverse psychology) Here's why you should NOT pick me to work on your next project...I make cute, quirky and unique pieces, and I'm a bubbly person to work with. Katharinegails.art #september #apples #kidlit #collage

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

Listen to your children read. Read to your children. Read alongside your children. Take them to libraries. Talk about what reading means to you & what it can unlock in them. Tell them it doesn’t matter if it’s comics, magazines or books as long as they’re engaged with the written word.
