Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Fantastic!

I'm making one last push to let people know about this online talk -- sponsored by the British Library in conjunction with their current exhibition on fairy tales. The live stream starts at 7:30 tonight, but if you buy a ticket *before* the event you can watch it any time over the next 7 days.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

FANTASTIC!!!!

A single panel of the Mouse Guard comic by David Petersen in which snarling weasels are bravely held at bay by armed mice atop a quail-drawn wagon.

I have summoned mice with swords to fight your weasels.

Ditto! Let’s do this again sometime before all the planes become sentient and start refusing to carry us around.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

I'm up this week on the @ursulakleguin.com blog podcast, reading the title essay, "In Your Spare Time." It's a great Le Guin for skeptics and beginners, a little bento box of her ideas and prose—irreverent, thoughtful, and moving.

This Freedom to Read Panel is happening April 15 at 6 pm at the St J Athenaeum.
Panelists:
• Christine Owens & Caitlin Wallingford —St. Johnsbury School Librarians
• Merlin Heima — Tunnel Books
• Jo Knowles— Vermont Author
• Moderator: Loralee Tester
• Youth Moderators: Donley & Florie Johnson

GO to usa.gov/elected-officials and call your rep. "Hello my name is [your name], and I'm a constituent from [your city/zip code]. I'm calling to urge [rep/senator name] to support the freedom to read and oppose efforts to ban books or restrict access in schools and libraries. Access to diverse books and ideas is essential for education, critical thinking, and a healthy democracy. Decisions about what individuals read should not be dictated b political pressure. I also ask that you support funding for libraries and protect the role of trained librarians in our communities. Thank you for your time, and I would appreciate knowing the representative's position on the issue."

Want to stand up for the freedom to read? With legislation like H.R. 7661 shaping the future of access to books, contacting your members of Congress is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard. Your voice matters, and it helps shape the policies that affect our libraries and schools.
