GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
The books are staying in the library!
Thank you so much to everyone for your input and research.
We did this together.
I'm actively making a presentation for the head of our school to argue why we should keep the BOOKS in our LIBRARY.
Apparently removing all of the books from a school library for efficiency is an actual idea someone thought is good.

Update: I have a meeting to present my argument and research to the school's Dean next week!

Thank you to my fellow librarians and educators for your shared resources and opinions on my mission to save the school library I so love to serve.

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One per day for 20 days, no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

*aggressively sniffs new book*

I think that A Wrinkle in Time is one of many books that people should read or reread right now.

I could list dozens more.

Bisexual stories 🌈📚 often disappear in the algorithms that decide our place in search engines and marketplaces.
Time for a thread to share #books, #novels and #poetry by #bi writers, or about bi stories, or with bi characters!

For those facing book bans at their local and school libraries, teens and young adults anywhere in the US can get a free online library card. And those who are able, please donate.

Fight ignorance. Read a book. Support libraries.

A library gives you free access to a huge variety of books which with just a library card (also free) you can borrow to take home with you. That is still the wonder of public libraries.

Shout out to all the lovers of Wicked the musical reading the book for the first time and having whiplash at the tone shift.
I love both fiercely & equally. The book is a political intrigue and surrealist masterpiece. The musical is a fantastic love story, tragedy, and tale of what makes one "good"

The library was always my safe space growing up as a Bookish neurodivergent child.
Long story short, after years of failed careers and battles with my disabilities I asked myself, "Why didn't I become a librarian? I'd be so much happier."

So, I became a school librarian; and I am SO much happier.
Good morning BlueSky library world. Inspired by @librarianjones.bsky.social saying an episode of The Rosie O’Donnell Show led her to be a school librarian, thought it would be fun to hear everyone’s origin story. What led you to the library? #TLSky #EduLib #Skybrarians

Proposed Michigan law would shield LGBTQ books from being pulled off library shelves
A West Michigan library was effectively defunded by voters in 2022 amid a campaign against LGBTQ materials on the library’s shelves.
