Mystery or fantasy? Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs took me on an adventure like I've never experienced before. I now have more questions than answers and NEED to read Hollow City! #SLIS55326 @UHCL_SLIS

Our students need and deserve diverse books that create mirrors into their lives! #SLIS5532

“We are a diverse, pluralistic society. We should hold our public institutions accountable for that diversity and ensure that everyone is included at the library. Everyone should find books that reflect their lives, their needs." @OIF https://t.co/4WPamqDrfk

This week we read #LookingforAlaska. This book is often challenged and banned in schools. Some say this book is inappropriate for teens, others think it is a good coming of age story. #SLIS55323
