Way to go!

Honored. To. Stand. With. So many. But biggest shout always to my pal and guide in censorship land @veronikellymars without you I'd be lost.

[Alison Weiss @alioop7]

The final point I made in this past weekend's @scbwi presentation, and one I think I make in a lot of presentations, tbh, is this: You have no idea how close you are to achieving your goal, but if you give up now, you'll never get there. Keep going.

[Quinette Cook @QuinetteCook]

I live this every day. Thank you for the encouragement @alioop7 !

[Alison Weiss @alioop7]

Do not give up. Do not lose hope. Show up. Take a moment to look back at how far you've already come. Keep at it. Celebrate the small victories. And someday (soon, I believe it) you'll celebrate the big win, too.

What @PhilBildner says. Vote!

In the summer of 2016, President @BarackObama appointed Dr. Carla Hayden @LibnOfCongress to be the 14th Librarian of Congress.

The Librarian of Congress serves a 10 year term.

In 2026, the next President of the United States will name the 15th Librarian of Congress.

Vote.

Food pantries here in Iowa are struggling to keep up with rising numbers of people seeking assistance, and it’s been worse during these summer months. $29 million in federal assistance for children would have made a huge difference, we can’t let IA Gov refuse it for 2025.

@alioop7 Because we bought a bigger tractor. 🤪

[Quinette Cook @QuinetteCook]

No luck needed. You’re a great presenter!
Can’t wait to listen to the recording. I couldn’t listen to the live presentation. I had to sell a tractor. 😆😆😆

[Alison Weiss @alioop7]

About to present at SCBWI National. Wish me luck!

[Graci Kim @gracikim]

I will actually put my thoughts together at some point but for now I just want to say: adults should read middle grade books because it reminds us to have HOPE. Hope for our world, for our friends and family and relationships, and for the potential of our ourselves 💗

The first one that popped into my head is Baby Shark. Doo doo doo …

What's the worst possible song to get stuck in your head?

Happy Book Birthday, @LauraPSalas !

It's the #bookbirthday for LINE LEADS THE WAY! A couple w mobility issues walking together at the gym inspired this book. The #leonardcohenquote was my mantra. & now it's a tale of shapes vying to be the library's Treasure Keeper! A strange journey! #capstone #alicecaldarella
