Ryan Thames has issued a formal apology to me. This was never about $—it was about integrity. I’m grateful that the false statements have been publicly corrected and that the truth is now clear. I hope this outcome serves as a reminder that words carry weight and accountability matters. @la-cac.org

Just finished writing to NC Representatives Foxx and Edwards asking them to restore funding to libraries by restoring the .003% of the full federal budget that the IMLS receives. There's still hope if we let them know how we feel about libraries and museums.

So grateful for the volunteers who make the school library run: my Library Minions (student assistants), parent volunteers, and TA's. Truly, they provide ideas & can-do energy. Let me also give a shout out to the leaders at #ncdpidtl and the leads in the county. Appreciate you! #SchoolLibraryMonth

I love my library space with its Makerspace and wall of windows looking out into nature. And bless the soul who decided all the shelving units should be on wheels so we can easily reconfigure the space. #schoollibrarymonth #ncslma #aasl
