Librarians do their research. SB 2094 is not good for students. 80% of Texans agree with me. Focus on strategies proven to improve teaching and learning that don’t come at such a high cost. Are you listening? @SenatorBobHall @SenTedCruz @JohnCornyn

Thank you Coach KP’s class for reading The Day the War came with me! I was so impressed with your kindness and empathy as we discussed everyone’s right to be valued and included...especially in education ❤️🪑 @NicolaKidsbooks #LETSCelebrateDiversity #YOUBelongInMesquite @letmisd

We celebrated neurodiversity in the library today by reading about ground-breaking scientist and animal lover Dr. Temple Grandin! 📚🐮❤️ #LETSCelebrateDiversity #YOUBelongInMesquite #RedInstead #AutismAcceptanceMonth @letmisd

#InventionLiteracy is the ability to read and write human-made stuff. We believe the world is reformable and when students put on the hat of an inventor, they realize they can help re-invent the world!

Wow. That’s all I can say. #ThisLightBetweenUs was a fresh & needed perspective in the middle grade historical fiction arena - a book I’ll be quick to recommend to my many WWII history buffs. But @AndrewFukuda, were you trying to make me cry??#LoneStarReadingList #Mesquitereads

[Ashley Stratton @TheLoudLibrn]

#TheSilenceBetweenUs was such a sweet and heart-wrenching read. @Ally_Gervais authentic representation of Deaf culture & Deaf pride, as well as the nuances and beauty of ASL makes me proud to have this book on our shelves. #diversebooksmatter #authenticvoices #mesquitereads
