If Christian Nationalist parents are allowed to have their kids opt-out of any books that dare mention anyone gay, then all the other parents should be allowed to let their kids opt-out from the Ten Commandments.

I've loved Lori Ostlund's writing for a long time. Her extraordinary new short story collection, ARE YOU HAPPY? is SO rich, funny, wise. I wish I was still a public librarian so I could point you to it when you came in looking for your next read, but sharing here is the next best thing!

Librarians! Can you help?
Yes! Libraries are the best places in the universe and librarians are invincible forces for good. Many thanks for the library love.
Gwen Steel's narration of The New Town Librarian by @kandersonwriter.bsky.social is a cozy listen that shows you can change your story at any age. A library can change a life, a community, and create a family.
