My perfect Venn Diagram—a wrestling-loving librarian (!) asked to interview me on her female-focused pro-wrestling podcast! How cool is that. Here's my chat about FRIDAY NIGHT WRESTLEFSET with the lovely Em and Harley of Grit & Glitter. ⚡️💥📚

.@NYCSchools disclosed that less than 20% of NYC public schools employ a librarian, in response to my law requiring this report. Librarians make a world of difference in promoting literacy, honing research skills, & inspiring a love of learning & reading.

Advocates say librarians are essential for students, but NYC schools don’t have enough librarians. https://t.co/JCLIQPzdUm

@MarkTreyger718 Also bringing back school libraries and librarians!

Banned Books Week is an important reminder that libraries are a cornerstone of learning and they are under attack across the country.

Jenny Fox’s op-ed highlights the need to protect school libraries and make sure we have a librarian in every school.

@tomcsheppard @NYCSchools The last flood my kid had to ring out his socks in the sink. They were all so cold and wet they couldn’t concentrate.

[J.F. Fox @bookishfox]

@NYLA_1890 Done!

[J.F. Fox @bookishfox]

@KathyHochul please find NY libraries. As Walter Cronkite said, “Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”

Thank you ⁦@edrabinski⁩ for pointing out that not every family or teen has the funds to purchase a book in this country which is why library access matters. ⁦@ALALibrary⁩

Mississippi wasn’t a miracle. It was a decade in the making of hard work from lots of people. You can have your opinions about SoR but the data tells the story. @kymyona_burk

"It’s common knowledge that never learning to read well damages children’s self-esteem, their life prospects, and our country’s future workforce. What’s less talked about is how, when schools fail to teach reading, it harms the public’s trust in schools." https://t.co/YzARdQSRQE

[J.F. Fox @bookishfox]

We teach kids to read by guessing at pictures then wonder why they feel the need to have reading support from pictures.

This one just might set your blood a-boil. Hopefully the others in the group explained that #graphicnovels are real reading ... and so are I Spy books.

So, this happened last night on Celebrity Jeopardy…
