A student organization at my school held a "hat day" today, for a dollar you could wear a hat all day inside. All the proceeds are being donated to Dolly's Imagination library....

A story about a Nashville charter school removing numerous books from its school libraries has been circulating widely, but...there is no verified source on this story at all. Here's a deep dive into the work of checking your sources and why ban counts fall short. bookriot.com/how-to-check...

When politicians & organized groups ban books from school libraries, they erase voices, restrict access to knowledge, & deny students the opportunity to understand people & experiences different from their own. Families & communities are the guardrails. So where is our collective local outrage?

60+ studies spanning 5 decades were reviewed by the Center for American Progress. It found well-resourced school libraries w/certified librarians are associated with stronger academic outcomes, w/the greatest benefits seen among low-income students, students of color, and students with disabilities.

As an ALA Life Member, I am utterly confounded by the decision to allow space on the floor of the Annual Meeting to a company openly antithetical to the profession. Is the Association so desperate for conference revenue? aischoollibrarian.substack.com/p/why-is-ala...

aischoollibrarian.substack.com

Why Is ALA Giving a Platform to a Company Promoting “AI Librarians”?

Libraries are fighting cuts, deprofessionalization, and attacks on expertise. This feels like the wrong message at the wrong time.
