Relocated from Chicago area to PDX OR in 2018 & ♥️working as a teacher librarian in a public school district with great colleagues. Opinions are my own.

Celebrate the Freedom to Read! It’s Banned Books Week, which is especially relevant in this terrible year. There has never been this many book challenges, or personal attacks on librarians and teachers for the books they buy. #Freadom #BannedBooksWeek

I have made it my mission to unteach children that “fiction is fake.”

Here are my new definitions I started teaching today:

▪️Nonfiction = learning through information

▫️Fiction = learning through imagination

Thank you for this wonderful art @Jarrett_Lerner ! ♥️📚

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

Do the schools in your community all have libraries? Does each one have a dedicated librarian? I hope so. Libraries are the heart of a school, and librarians serve an essential role in them.

[Brooklyn Public Library @BKLYNlibrary]

Libraries across the country are facing an increasingly coordinated effort to remove books from shelves. With #BooksUnbanned, BPL seeks to combat the negative impact of censorship. Learn more at https://t.co/4sPbslW817

[Fake Library Statistics @FakeLibStats]

You have a 50/50 chance that a librarian will waive your fine if you give them enough chocolate, so you may as well give it a try
