The world needs less hate and fear-mongering and more LeVar ❤️🌈

Hoping this happens in NJ. We need the same in CA, the worst state in the U.S. in terms of school librarians in schools 50/50.

NJASL: NJ Assoc. of School Librarians (It's "En-JAY-sul"!)@njasl.bsky.social · last yr.

Research repeatedly shows: schools w/ robust library programs have students with higher outcomes across all measures - academic, social, & personal! If we want to provide NJ students with strong educational foundations, school librarians are essential. www.saveschoollibrarians.org/njasl_ratiob...

What is wrong with Tennessee?

"The Tennessee Association of School Libraries found in a survey of its members that in 20% of school districts, books were removed from the shelves at the command of district leaders without any sort of review process."

Another win for our youth!

Alberta youth have the right to school library books that reflect their lives, including sexuality

This is great news!

Martha Hickson@sassylibrarian.bsky.social · last yr.

“[Oregon’s] new law prohibits removing and banning books from school libraries for reasons exclusively based on the fact that their content includes a protected class.”

It was such an honor to host the great Grace Lin at the Aptos MS library. Her new book is fabulous.

Of course! We are part of the very best this country offers! We don’t want to lose it.
