@evergypower May want to post another update if you have info about the new outages Sunday night without weather challenges. Guessing something else has happened.

@evergypower Big storm yesterday and we kept power. Nothing happening now weather wise and the whole block of 73rd between Oak and Grand went down. What’s up?

[Crystal @cwfaris]

Thank you.

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Excellent book - comes out next month so add to your pile!

Reading books like this give us an opportunity to re-humanize ourselves. Thank you for this opening session @ALALibrary #howtobeayoungantiracist #liblearnx23

Using the words “treat” and “eradicate” in relation to racism, just gave me hope. #LibLearnX23

Thank you to all who took the time to comment. This is not going to go away. Censorship in all its controlling forms is on the rise.

We'd like to thank everyone who took time to raise awareness and share their feedback about @MissouriSOS proposed administrative rule for Missouri libraries. And thanks to @KCStar for this article about the response: https://t.co/u3bl29lHOj
