[American Library Association @ALALibrary]

“The one thing that libraries give us that all these other spaces don’t is context. It is the context and curation.” Trevor Noah at #ALAAC24. His new book, "Into the UnCut Grass" releases October 2024.

Promised teacher librarians at ⁦@bctla⁩ I’d post this land acknowledgment students wrote on their own. I forgot which school, so if these are your students please reply and remind me! But this is so thoughtful and meaningful.

[Orange Shirt Society @OrangeShirtSoc]

Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 after I shared my story of wearing an orange shirt on my first day at SJM Residential School. From that day, the color orange became a symbol of the effects of residential schools & “Every Child Matters” - Phyllis Webstad, Ambassador @OrangeShirtSoc

For about a year and a half, I worked at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum here in D.C. as a visitor services representative. On my first day, I was walking with my supervisor, who nudged me at one point and said: "See that guy? That's Henry. Make sure you talk to him." (thread)

I’ll be on @CKNW at 12:35 today, speaking truths about Harmony & trying to explain @CityofSurrey Councillors’ cold-hearted silence as they crushed the hopes of people with disabilities in desperate search for a home they can call their own. Please share. #bcpoli #disabilityrights

THIS WILL LIKELY MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE SAID.

Last week, the remains of 215 children were found at a former residential school. They were all victims of racism.

A few days ago, 4 people were murdered in yet another act of racism.

Keep reading. (1/10)

Building a reading culture in secondary schools: let them read

[CityNews Vancouver @CityNewsVAN]

Parents, a teacher-librarian, and an independent bookstore are working together on a diversity book drive so kids at an East Vancouver school will be able to see themselves, their families, and their cultures better reflected in the books on the shelves. https://t.co/TnflneSfl4

Research tip! You might be used to looking for more sources by checking the bibliography of a relevant book or article – that's called backward reference chaining or bibliographic mining. But do you know about forward reference chaining?

Collaboration requires humility. It is not about being an expert, it is about sharing our strengths and creating something together. Teachers. Students. EAs. Parents. Community. @LeytonSchnell @FSIBC #inclusion
