Oooh thank you for this! I spy a few I haven't read yet! (And I have loved all those I did read!)

Federal troops on city streets in the United States is not normal.

Banning books in schools and libraries in the United States is not normal.

This is not normal.
What is happening in the United States is not normal.

We need more of us — so many more us — resisting these monstrous evildoers.

Had a great discussion around this table with a group of students today about the kinds of books being banned and protecting the freedom to read. The kids are all right! #BannedBooksWeek

My three fave audiobooks so far this year were The Second Chance of Benjamin Waterfalls, Ex Marks the Spot, and Twenty Four Seconds from Now. Loved them all so much, and the audio defo enhanced the experience.

Proud to stand with @authorsabb.bsky.social at the #HandsOff rally in Boston today!

Sorry I missed you too, Carrie!

Ooh! I love this! So many of our patrons (high school) come in looking for this sort of thing! Thank you!

The Trump administration doesn't care about protests BUT all of the organizations, institutions, & corporations who are deciding whether or not to capitulate might. A massive showing on April 5 could show them they have more to lose long term with compliance than defiance

Totally see their influence in your work. 💖

The second annual Young Adult Author Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025 from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.

ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year. Show Up for Our Libraries, ALA American Library Association, #ForOurLibraries

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Beyond angry and frustrated at this. What is wrong with these people???

Fabulous news! Follow @youngteenlit.bsky.social and let's get #youngteenlit books in the hands of young teen readers!

Exciting!

I've been called overqualified by having a Ph.D. and experience. Those who'd call a fantastic candidate overqualified are often looking for someone they can pay less, yes. But often they just assume and throw you out rather than asking.

So freaking proud of Boston Mayor @mayorwu.boston.gov today. This is what real leadership looks like. #boston

Boston doesn’t listen to kings.

😭😭😭

Get every single one of you on the same page and present a unified front of resistance. You can't vote in there, but you can boo.

I am reading Everything is Poison right now! Different century, but might be helpful!
