In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

How on earth do I manage to screw up offering a graphic novel book club for teens? Flyers everywhere. Teacher buy-in. Snacks offered.

Two sessions of interest meeting. One young person, who seemingly had been dragged in by their parent.

Catholics are who the Klan went after locally, a century ago, because there weren't non-white people to terrorize.

My mom is jealous of her little sister becoming a grandma, so I sent her this adorable photo of her grandcat.

Congress needs to hear directly from you to stop the Federal Book Ban Bill!

Your message can help lawmakers understand that Americans stand against the Federal Government's attempt to restrict their freedom to read. share.nwmd.social/s/PcuPD0Qc

‘Quiet’ book bans threaten freedom of expression in North Dakota libraries • North Dakota Monitor There is a growing phenomenon of “quiet” book bans that take place outside the rancorous but democratic arena of public board meetings.

I know I can't change this patron, but I would really like to have balance in the Christianity section of the library. We've got nearly every book Joyce Meyer wrote.

I have a patron who loves Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. Can anyone recommend other Christian self-help authors that maybe aren't such prosperity theologians?

Can anyone recommend children's books on Sikh holidays, please? Last year, the middle school social studies teacher told me that Sikhism was one of the world religions required in Michigan curriculum, and I only have an encyclopedic work on it in the school library. TIA!

"I also wanted to say thank you to the librarian, the kids told us they read an EID book at school and it made them feel special." - parent's email to school

INCLUSION MATTERS!

Especially if you don't know that a couple of white, blond students are Muslim, this is why you teach all holidays.

House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library.

H.R. 7661 claims to “stop the sexualization of children” but as drafted it risks embedding discriminatory outcomes, which disproportionately affect materials reflecting diverse identities and experiences.

How does it do that?

Defines “Classic Works of Literature” as those promoted by a Christian Homeschooling site, Compass Classrooms
Specifically references banning any book that "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States
Uses financial leverage to pressure schools into removing  books

Why is that Bad?

It gives politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed on our shelves.
Parents, not politicians, should guide their children’s reading
Materials in our school and public libraries are selected by trained literacy professionals who understand child development and community needs. 
The First Amendment makes clear that the government should not impose religious ideology of one faith over all.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill! SUPPORT  FREADOM!
