🚨Stand up for your right to read🚨

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

As we gear up to spotlight #BannedBooks in the library, Unshelved (our BHS Book Club) chose the perfect book to kickstart celebrating our right to read!
Join us on Thursday (10/27) at 3pm to discuss Attack of the Black Rectangles by @AS_King! #StandWithTheBanned

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

So excited to meet you all!

Hope you’re all enjoying the final days of Spring Break ‘22!
Here’s a digital postcard from San Diego, where I found a boat with a great name 😎
You can take the librarian out of the library… you know the rest 😉
See you Monday!

Saw Ms. Bickus in the library today and said, "You look just like this book I know..." and handed her Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi! #LibrarianLife

The last time we celebrated the @LincolnAward was 3/12/20, one day before the world shut down.
Extra excited to be in person (w/ 7/8 students who had never participated before!) to collect all the ballots for the 2022 Award!

📸by: @CordinaReads, who read 19/20 titles!

Representation matters.

[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

Yesterday at my NEW FROM HERE signing, I met Moon Lee, a teacher who flew all the way out from Colorado to see me. She took time off work and travelled to tell me what it felt like to finally be seen in books and we both started crying. This is the power of representation!!! 📚

So excited about this new @LincolnAward list! And so proud of the students for choosing Gender Queer as one of the nominated titles! Way to go, team!

Listen to one of our favorite authors, @angiecthomas, speaking out in defense of #BannedBooks 🙌🏼

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

Thank you @TheDailyShow

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

Some may think, “This again?” when I make a big deal about #BannedBooksWeek in the library every September.

What @RachelCargle says here is exactly why this is so important, and it’s amping up now more than ever.

Check out #BannedBooks & #StandWithTheBanned !

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

Remember every year how I say #BannedBooksWeek is my favorite week of the year? (See pics)

Book banning is unfortunately a growing “trend,” but you can stand up for your right to read by checking out a “banned book” (including #Maus) anytime from our library! #StandWithTheBanned

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

@aawichman @CordinaReads Ooo what poems did you share, @aawichman ??

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

Always love sharing my love of reading *and* literary fashion with @CordinaReads’ classes!

Our Lit Lab classes are such a necessary part of what gets students excited about and actively reading— always love when we get to share that enthusiasm together!

[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

Thank you @sljournal for allowing me to speak out about this issue! Censorship and book banning threatens ALL of us—whether it’s your book today or your town tomorrow! https://t.co/cutKSSLMhF

[Bartlett HS Library @LibraryHawks]

Did you know we added about 50 new titles to the BHS Library collection last week? Don't forget to stock up on reading material to carry you through our two weeks off!

Happy #BannedBooksWeek! I remember the time a Texas school district banned The Hate U Give, and I sold tens of thousands of copies in a week in that same district.

Keeping banning my books. I have a second home to buy 😂
