Libraries belong to all of us. They are places where people can encounter books they might never have found on their own, follow their curiosity, and make up their own minds. Supporting them is one small but meaningful way to protect that freedom.

Educators, as you begin the school year, consider offering OBaaT (One Bully at a Time) in your classrooms and libraries. Now more than ever, students need to know about the importance of representation and standing up for what is right. #booksky #edusky

A beautiful story of empathy, courage, reaching beyond ourselves. Hard realities of betrayal, bullying, domestic violence, stalking. Vachss brings a carefully crafted balance, with the aid of a bunch of shelter dogs and a character who speaks in old rock n roll lyrics. One Bully at a Time #booksky

"I have an infinite amount of admiration for an author such as Alice Vachss, who can bring a fresh voice to this genre. This may be her first novel but she is in possession of a wise and seasoned voice of compassion and understanding. That voice gives strength to characters." -OBaaT reader #booksky

"If you are a victim of emotional abuse, there can be no self-help until you learn to self–reference. That means developing your own standards, deciding for yourself what "goodness" really is. Adopting the abuser's calculated labels only continues the cycle." -Andrew Vachss

Of course, Billie Jean King refused to be blackmailed and extorted. And of course, she supports transgender athletes. Her defining strength is refusing to be bullied or to be a bystander to bullying. #WomensHistoryMonth
