Michelle and I want to thank these librarians for their unwavering commitment to the freedom to read.
I hope you’ll read my letter to them, and join me in reminding anyone who will listen—and even some people you think might not—that the free, robust exchange of ideas has always been at the heart of American democracy.
Together, we can make that true for generations to come. https://t.co/sMDrP8ASsv
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.

Did you know focusing on a cute animal can help reduce anxiety? This makes Rebel the perfect therapeutic distraction to help students read aloud w/o worry & improve their reading fluency. 🥰🐶 Thank you, as always, for volunteering your time to help our students @cisco_romero43!
