After 34 years of marriage, my husband can still surprise me! I knew he had bought tickets for Pink for my birthday, but he bought VIP tickets and we are on the floor close to the stage! I'm so excited!

The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers.
Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment to the city of @FishersIN.

School libraries should be safe places to access ideas, spots to explore interests, places to connect with books and grow literacy staffed by library professionals who collaborate with staff & support students. They should not be shuttered to create detention centers.

Today would have been @DrMayaAngelou's 95th birthday. As a girl, she endured trauma and abuse that actually led her to stop speaking. But as a performer and writer, she found her voice—a voice that has spoken to millions, and inspired countless others over the years.

To give a sense of scale, in a typical #Txlege session there are 5-6 bills relating to libraries. This year, there are already 32, mostly negative.

Where are the bills recognizing the value that school libraries contribute to Texas students?

#NTTBF Brian Selznick, Thank you for your wonderful books and your support of our students! So glad you are part of our welcome back!

Absurdity - if libraries were really trying to "indoctrinate" students, would they really buy a few books and make them voluntary reading and then put them within a collection of 15,000 other books? Most inefficient method ever.
