Issuing a #BookChallenge to the world asking not to challenge books!
Decide not to read books in your own homes, it’s a decision between library grown-ups & library kids. Allow books to be books on bookshelves to show one they belong 💛
Every book isn’t for everyone, but every book is for someone ✨

What a great day of professional learning, and Marc's presentation on primary research sparked lots of ideas and conversations!
Thank you to @lindseykimery.bsky.social and #mnpslibraries for inviting me to speak to Tennessee librarians from atypically snowy Maryland.
Your feedback humbled me.
You are doing sacred work that can be unnecessarily difficult work. I [and many others @authorsabb.bsky.social] stand by you.
