@DESLibraryNV I love your spirit week list!

@JuddLegum I'll bet he hasn't read a single one of the books he's challenged.

The Supreme Court believes that you have a constitutional right to carry a firearm in public but no right to have access to legal abortion services.

[Rebecca Traister @rtraister]

"With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."

@bbalston @DarlKiernan I absolutely love this book! My daughter bought me a copy for Christmas. Had to order one for @CorbettCougars library.

For Pastor Ray Minniecon, getting the COVID-19 vaccine is quite simply an act of love – for your family, your community and your elders.

Listen to Pastor Ray’s message to find out why he wants all First Nations people to get vaccinated.

I can't think of a better choice than @JasonReynolds83 to serve for a third year as our National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. @librarycongress #wcsdlibraries

@jscottwrites That moment was so important in a week of smoke and forest loss here (Sierra Nevada around Tahoe especially). Next week we're going to watch you and Sydney Smith on the Holiday House YouTube channel.

Today I read @jscottwrites beautiful I Talk Like a River to one of my 4th grade classes. There are 2 students who stutter in this group of 35, but that's not why I read it. While I read, no one said a word. At the end, they clapped. #wcsdlibraries

[Deborah Apel @dgapel]

@landwhale_apel @Iconawrites Oh yes. Agree completely. Amazingly, school administrators often agree with these folks about the lack of necessity despite many studies to the contrary.

[Deborah Apel @dgapel]

If you notice your school librarian putting the pages of a well-worn library book in the recycle, rest assured that book has circulated through the hands of at least 120 students. It's the right thing to do to let them go. https://t.co/7s1UMURsY5

#Grateful to still be going on amazing adventures with this man, 28 years and counting.

Good advice for us at #wcsdlibraries as we end the school year...

Reading aloud is so powerful, at any age.

Ms. Green's @CorbettCougars #firstgrade wrote me a beautiful acrostic poem #poetrymonth #wcsdlibraries These kids always make me feel loved♥️

@sljournal As a teen, the librarian at the small library in my home town made a similar comment about a book I was checking out. She said, "Does your mother know you're reading this?" I was mortified! I never went to that library again. Public shaming is NOT. OK.
