I let my daughter, 9, stay up a little late to finish reading her third Nancy Drew mystery, by the lamp at her bed. Is it 1955? 1985? What is happening? Not a phone in sight, literacy thriving; don’t let the world fall apart.

A president who doesn’t read can’t tell the rest of us that libraries and museums are not important enough to be funded.

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders. Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...

ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

#kidlit friends, this is an amazingly comprehensive list of classes, workshops, webinars available to strengthen your craft. I already found a couple things I am looking into! Thank you Carolyn for compiling this!

This is a wonderful collection of PBs that are NOT being talked about for the Caldecott, because they don't qualify. But there are several I want to run to my library and find today.

Day 7: 31 Days, 31 Lists - Caldenotts. What precisely is a "Caldenott"? A book where the illustrator is inconveniently from a country other than America. Today, we celebrate artists deserving in every possible way, save location. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/07/3...
