These are my latest check outs from my local library! Iโm so excited to start โWhere The Crawdads Singโ Hopefully I can finish it before the movie comes out this summer๐ค๐ป #TLDE2022
Late fees are a huge barrier to access for many patrons. I am beyond excited to see this topic presented at the Public Library Association Conference and so grateful for the leap many libraries are making to abolish late fees! #TLDE2022
This is an older tweet but something for everyone to pay attention to. Librarians are an essential part to every community and it should be recognized through their pay! #librarians#librariesrock#TLDE2022
This is a great example of how reading brings communities together. Also another great opportunity to participate in the many outreach programs that are in your community! #TLDE2022

Graphic novels are a great way to build critical thinking skills. When students read graphic novels they are able to use the words and the artwork on the page to help decode words better and build reading comprehension! ๐๐ #TLDE2022
This is a great opportunity for teachers to diversify their school library! Itโs very important that students are able to relate and see themselves represented in their school! #TLDE2022

It's absolutely necessary that we speak out loudly about what's going on right now! It saddens me to see intellectual freedom being threatened - thoughts and ideas are being banned as much these books are :(๐ #librariesrock#TLDE2022
What's driving the rise in book bans? Who decides who gets to read what books? @OIF Director Deborah Caldwell-Stone, UIUC LIS Professor @ejmknox, and "In the Dream House" author Carmen Maria Machado on @whyyradiotimes
