Librarian Tracie D. Hall has been named to one of Forbes’ Top 50 Over 50 lists for 2023. She was selected for her leadership of ALA during the COVID pandemic that saw libraries close across the U.S. and for her efforts to help protect the freedom to read. https://t.co/mzMVraKTnj

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

[SchoolLibraryJournal @sljournal]

President Obama released a letter calling book challenges "profoundly misguided and contrary to what has made this country great" and thanked librarians for their "unwavering commitment to the freedom to read."

We are going to keep saying it... ending the student loan payment pause will be a "financial disaster"

"Borrowers are telling us is that they're seriously in need of this relief.”

We cannot tolerate nor accept living in an inequitable society. Canceling student debt is NECESSARY!

[Lisa Yun Lee @Doclisayunlee]

Kudos to the @msichicago for providing a way for #colorblind guests to see color through a partnership with @EnChroma. #Art should be accessible to everyone, and this is a positive step in achieving that. Great work, @PeterVega and @chevyluvscience. https://t.co/L3lzlStjWv

For the Japanese American community, today is a solemn day. It's the Day of Remembrance, the anniversary of FDR's Executive Order 9066, which ordered the internment of 120,000 persons of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were citizens of the United States.
