Kwame Alexander- first question: how are you doing?
"Mom, choice words try to digest it."
"Never been fired before. Usually there's a process"

The moron-in-chief thinks he can fire #DrCarlaHayden and make us feel small and powerless. All he does is make me one #PissedOff #librarian.
#DrCarlaHayden dismissal has reached German tv news.
Pumpkin 🎃 face offended by children’s book about self acceptance.
Yeah, he’s far from that. He doesn’t even have a
library card.

#DrCarlaHayden is a wonderful librarian who we had the pleasure of hosting at our event #LibrariansChangeLives just a few weeks ago.
Dr Hayden spoke eloquently about the importance of libraries as equalisers, as centres of community, and bastions of truth.
We look forward to what she does next.
Trump doesn't value libraries - he'd have to be a reader to understand. He thinks his unilateral orders puff him up as a dictator-wanna-be but they make him smaller & smaller.
#DrCarlaHayden is the opposite of him: smart, motivated, helpful, kind, & committed to doing a good job with distinction.
No words.
