3. Governing isn't campaigning
4. Beware of attention seekers who don't actually do much work.

How important are banned books to you?

Last year, Hoosiers challenged 346 books in libraries across Indiana. Thanks to help from the American Library Association (@amlibraryassoc.bsky.social), I was able to compile a complete list, which I'm now sharing on BlueSky.

Ope, apparently I was supposed to post pictures of my cats? Here they are - very cutesy, very mindful, very demure. As the kids say.
