Last week Cumberland City Council banned same-sex parenting books from its public libraries.

Sign the petition and help show council that they made a mistake and all families should be seen and valued in our public libraries.

We’ve already received over 10k signatures opposing Cumberland City Council’s ban on same-sex parenting books in public libraries.

We’re close to reaching our goal of 15k - sign on now and help call on Cumberland to rescind the motion!

@kfosterauthor My desk is in a shared office, I get a recurring booking for 2hrs a fortnight in a private study room. This really helps me actually have focused time and not get burned out from the continuous being surrounded by people.

LGBTQIA+ library workers play a vital role in promoting diverse perspectives and ensuring equitable access to information for all users. ALA condemns discrimination against these valued members of the library workforce and announces steps to support them:

Hmm, I also get the correct result with a typo in the query. Here it’s “how.old” instead of “how old”

[Robert McNees @mcnees]

Let me explain one reason why this is a potentially serious problem.

First, you should know that when I search google from an incognito window it gives me the right answer: just shy of 14 billion years, the current scientific consensus among cosmologists and astronomers.
