A quote graphic set against the backdrop of swirling, layered sandstone walls inside a slot canyon, possibly Antelope Canyon. The quote is centered in white text on black rectangular overlays. It reads:

"You want weapons? We’re in a library! Books! Best weapons in the world! This room’s the greatest arsenal we could have. Arm yourself!"
— David Tennant

Below the quote, the author’s name appears on a red nameplate: David Tennant. The image is branded with a small watermark that reads quotefancy.

Reading allows us to see and understand the world to the eyes of others. A good book is an empathy engine, Chis Riddell UK children’s laureate. An image of a girl reading a book to a little boy on a couch with lots of books around them. It is a black and white ink drawing.

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, support independent booksellers with some holiday book shopping at @bookshop-org.bsky.social. And pick from our curated reading lists to support PEN America, too!

These selections from @minjinlee.bsky.social are a great place to start: bookshop.org/lists/little...

Coming soon: #Booksky Banned Book Club!

We'll read one banned/challenged book monthly and discuss on Bluesky with posts. Coordinators will provide talking points. Follow me for updates and to join. Fellow librarians, let me know if you'd like to be a coordinator.

Repost to get the word out pls.

Yes and I think it’s important for them to know that we don’t like all books because that will let them know it’s okay to stop reading a book they aren’t enjoying. I want kids to love reading and not see it as a chore.
