In the latest episode of @vtedReads: @AS_King fields questions about her book Dig from students at @U32library. Big thanks to them and to @Meg_Allison for this thoughtful conversation about how white supremacy shows up in families and communities! #vted https://t.co/6w0NvAv4gf
Lisa just informed me I'm the winner! I'm humbled and extremely grateful. Thank you for championing for libraries and librarians. It's with heartfelt books like Starfish that we can help our students see themselves and learn empathy for each other. #windowsmirrorsandslidingdoors
@meg_allison @U32library @JPhillipsVT @vtedreads That was one of the best hours of my year, Meg. That we have it recorded is a huge win. Your students are brilliant. You are brilliant. I could have stayed all day talking to you all. ♾
The U-32 Middle & High School Library strives to be an inclusive space with a collection that amplifies historically marginalized perspectives and experiences.
We choose to recognize, support, and celebrate the full humanity of all of our students & learning community.

"All students must be taught the true history of the United States, including its founding based on stolen land, Indigenous genocide, & economic gain on the backs of enslaved peoples."

Our Board has issued the following statement: https://t.co/TDj2KnweH4
It's #SLCoreValues co-author @meg_allison in this article and her presentation on RADICAL INCLUSION. ❤️ “It means welcoming and affirming the voices of all library stakeholders in a way that shares power." https://t.co/3ihqC808iF @CactusWoman
Sharing power with students as we collaborate with our 8th grade social studies teacher to audit our collection with a critical lens. Where do stereotypes reside on our shelves? The false narrative of settler colonialism? What makes for an inclusive story?

We’ve got an exciting episode planned with @meg_allison at @U32library, her students and @AS_King about Dig

@shannonwa @BearPondBooks Via Zoom during our pandemic year. You are reminding us that we have a Bingo cage. Might have to do this in person this year!
Hosted our first Game Night for students featuring lots of yacht rock and Florida vibes. Prizes galore with the top being a @BearPondBooks gift card.
Definitely got into character. So much fun!
