Certified school librarians boost test scores, grad rates, & critical thinking, yet their numbers are declining.
When we fight for school libraries, we fight for the future of education, & when we fight for the future of education, we fight for a better future PERIOD.

Instagram post from Jonathan Haupt discussing the SC chapter of authors against book bans.
Any "South Carolina published writers, poets, illustrators, editors, anthology contributors, and other book content creators" are invited to join Authors Against Book Bans. Go to authorsagainstbookbans.com or find my friend Jonathan Haupt at the Pat Conroy Literary Center.
Be informed, take action. None of this is rocket science and yet so many turn away when they could help. Please help!

Of course!
I can't offer comparison per se, but created a Storygraph couple weeks ago, importing data was super easy and I'm exploring. Difficult to navigate to things especially things I already own. Was planning to do same with Fable and play around.
🥳 Great news! I'm officially presenting at @scasl.bsky.social 50th anniversary conference in March! "Danger Ahead! Teens on the Banned Wagon" will provide insight into some super successful censorship lessons/activities with high school Ss. #TLSky #Skybrarian

Desperately need to add this to my #highschoollibrary
EveryLibrary executive director John Chrastka had a clear message for the 2024 SLJ Summit attendees:
The days of catchy slogans and clever T-shirts are over.
Time for school librarians to take their place as serious negotiators with a fundamental role in education.

A library is a thing that cannot be defined, only felt in hearts and minds.

Here are the anti-library & pro-censorship bills already prefiled for the 2025 legislative session across the US. It's your job to keep tabs on these, write your representatives, & speak up about the dismantling of public institutions of access + democracy.
