The dismissal was disclosed in statements from three top House Democrats and confirmed by a separate person familiar with the matter.

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.

I had a super fun time talking with Steve on the SLLN podcast! Barriers to access can, unfortunately, be common, but are there workarounds or alternative ways of providing support? Check out the episode for a few ideas! @aaslala.bsky.social #tasltn #mnpslibraries

“Each community was to define what is considered age-appropriate based on local standards.”

Determining local community standards aren’t determined by sharing lists across the state!

Excited to present to schools in my district today! I'm covering ideas for collaboration, creating lifelong readers & reading culture, and the data behind why school libraries matter in meeting students' academic and literacy needs. 💙📚💛 #mnpslibraries

A benefit of our public library and school district shared system is prepubs! MNPS librarians are enjoying a preview of "hot titles" for this semester. These will be in our school libraries for students on the day they're released! Thank you #limitlesslibraries! #mnpsreads #mnpslibraries

Loved seeing this #HourOfCode lesson at an elementary school today! The students programmed Spheros, BeeBots...and the Librarian! They had a blast!

If you love The Hazardous Tales, you'll love seeing the tales from American history that @nathanhale.bsky.social draws live! Attendees at #taslcon23 enjoyed a presentation on Garfield and Lewis & Clark!

"Read, Watch, Write, Reflect," led by Mary Davis. A consistent library day structure supports routines and allows for topic exploration connected to curriculum standards. What a great example of how librarians are instructional partners! #taslcon23 #mnpsreads

Hello! Thanks to @drtlovesbooks.bsky.social and @mreilly.bsky.social for the code! As head of libraries for a school district, I'm in schools a lot. Yesterday, I visited a Literati book fair, a middle school book club with author Julian Vaca, and a made a recording for our podcast. #schoollibraries
