@nicollewallace.bsky.social I want to thank you/your staff. My husband died on August 5. I posted his obituary here, because it listed, among the people Tom dearly loved, Nicolle Wallace of MSNow. Today I learned that you had trees planted in his memory. I am deeply touched - Kathleen Havener

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame
