To give chicago kids the education they deserve— without limits— we need to bring libraries to the place where they learn. @CTULocal1 members are really good at curating diverse inclusive representative books. But we need the resources, not the press releases. /end @ChiPubSchools
A estimated 270,000 @ChiPubSchools students don’t have a school librarian! Not banning books is a low bar. Let’s stop patting ourselves on the back @chicagosmayor & work for more access to those “book sanctuaries” (otherwise known as school libraries)./ @ChiPubSchools@CTULocal1
While @chicagosmayor gives press statements claiming Chicago is a “book sanctuary”, the reality is that most Chicago kids DON’T have access to commonly banned books. 🧵 @ChiPubSchools @CTULocal1 https://t.co/ki2WNn9ajl

Un año sin recreos, sin partidos de fut, sin jugar a las escondidas, la casa se convirtió en salón de clase, en parque, en refugio. Un aplauso a nuestros niños por ser fuertes y enseñarnos como es la cosa: Adaptarse y seguir. Cuidense mucho, ya falta menos. Feliz día del niño!
@lweschicago I’m pretty sure schools in Texas with libraries fund expensive but fire retardant rugs that are pretty. Either that or not at all bc I’m pretty sure not all schools have libraries or librarians either.
Funding ONE elementary library with a certified librarian doesn’t benefit just one class or one school- it benefits a whole school community and eventually a high school community and a community at large. #askmehow#schoollibrariesmatter#SchoolLibraryMonth
@goraina She’s going to FLIP when she finds out you responded! She’s been reading Ghosts and my sis just asked if it was appropriate for a 6yo... she’s read it a ton already. I think that means it is! 😂
Bought my 6yo niece Guts by @goraina bc she liked the pics. She had my sis read it to her until she memorized it and now she can read it on her own. Today my sis sent me her school journal entry: “My book Guts has lots of vomit and therapy” #comicsRlife#minibookworm
#Milobook is amazing and @mattdelapena words are so poetic but also: Spanish version is life. You savor every word! Read it out loud many times just to let the words sit in my mouth for a couple of minutes. Kids deserve books that look and sound authentically theirs. #kidlit
