Gosh. It’s almost as if the systematic dismantling of #schoollibraries over the last several decades led directly to a populace that lacks a basic understanding of information literacy, civic responsibility and human empathy. #sigh

This is my third holiday in a row alone. It would be nice to know we're together in this, even if we're by ourselves.

So, maybe RT this if you're being safe and spending New Year's Eve alone.

FYI: The words “engaging” and “challenging” are not antonyms. Just b/c kids ❤️ #graphicnovels (or audiobooks or romances, etc) doesn’t mean those texts aren’t also nutritious parts of their reading diets. The time to end book snobbery and honor Ss reading choices is now. /rant

#DigitalCitizenshipWeek ends today but being a good digital citizen does not. Kindness matters. Lift up others online instead of harassing, bullying, & trolling. If you're a victim, 5 tips from Common Sense Media: https://t.co/tiAvgVBU87 #Weare192

Fake News. It's a problem and one we can work to fix by being responsible users of social media. Think you're being aware? How many trolls can you find? Tell me your score when you're done and I'll tell you mine! https://t.co/cUEivr648F #DigitalCitizenshipWeek #weare192

We're spending more time than ever on devices as we learn/work from home & connect with friends/family from a distance. Eye strain, poor posture & sleep habits are the result. Take 5 mins every hour for a wellness break. https://t.co/uRjI27L2V1 #DigitalCitizenshipWeek #weare192

I can understand running TO the library, but not running IN the library...

We all know you make the BEST TikTok videos, but do you know how they might be affecting your future? Digital footprints have a lasting impact on your reputation, relationships, college and employment opportunities. THINK #DigitalCitizenshipWeek #weare192 https://t.co/5Lt67GP2AT

We're back with an impressive view from the Media Center windows on this beautiful afternoon! The new turf has been installed and pairs well with some new books about 100 years of the NFL and the 2019 women's soccer World Cup team! Check them out today!

2/2 "For this reason, we respect the right of individuals to be selective in their own reading. But for the same reason, we oppose efforts to limit the freedom of choice of others or to impose their own standards or tastes upon the community at large.”-The Students’ Right to Read

[Amy @amy_sticha]

1/2 “The right to read, like all rights guaranteed or implied within our constitutional tradition, can be used wisely or foolishly. But to deny the freedom of choice in fear that it may be unwisely used is to destroy the freedom itself." @BannedBooksWeek

[Amy @amy_sticha]

Celebrate the Right to Read during #BannedBooksWeek. I am a firm believer that while not every book is intended for every reader, each of us has the right to decide for ourselves what to read, listen to or view!
