Reading from my banned books all week long. (A little late due to flood). Educators: What did you find valuable about teaching RED AT THE BONE? What can students gain from reading it? Comment/DM your role and school/district. I’d love to hear from you. #BannedBooksWeek

We all know that books connect us, that language has quiet power. To see the concentration, curiosity and peace on faces lit by words is to know — beyond a shadow of a doubt — that libraries are the beating hearts of our communities. https://t.co/fqyzfN3Nms

tomorrow is our first time doing this whole "running a bookstore" thing!! it may only be 60% finished due to delays, but our attitudes are 100% ok?? ❣️ 12p-5p or whenever we run out of books bc I'm a rookie and probably should've ordered more 😅🥺 be nice to me omg

Still trying to soak it all in. So many people to thank. Forgive me if I forget anyone. (I'm still stunned.) @ALALibrary @yalsa @nancyrosep @PenguinClass @penguinkids @lizaroyceagency

🧵Not going to lie. I'm tearing up. I never imagined STARFISH would end up on a bookshelf at Indiana University Kokomo as required reading for senior nursing students.
