ICYMI nearly 400 library books were purged from the US Naval Academy - a college for adults.
America- our first Amendment rights are under attack.
This is not a drill.

I started playing an old Spinners record during 2nd lunch period today. A student came in and said “you got the vibes in here!” And that sounds like a successful School Librarian Day to me. #TLSky #libraries

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show.
But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

I’m on a 4 hour bus ride with Beta club to attend State. So far I’ve been serenaded with Disney songs,listened to them debate the value of American Imperialism, and heard them playing a video game together. Supervising teenage nerds is a trip.

Last week’s question of the week: no heating or no air conditioning?
I guess since we live in Southern IL they can’t stand being hot, and can tough out the rare cold snaps.

Feeling as though my bulletin board this month could be considered an act of resistance.
I’m thankful I live in Illinois. In many places I would be a target.

Last week MCHS voted whether they wanted to play in the Super Bowl or perform at the halftime show. Again, evenly divided! #tlsky #libraries #passiveprogramming

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜
The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.

It appears we’re evenly divided over this week’s question. Would you rather carry a flip phone or only use a desktop computer? #TLSky #libraries

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔
He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.
“The Library IS for Everyone” 💚

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚
