ICYMI, book banning is now being pushed by county officials in Texas. This week Williamson County commissioners withheld CARES funds from @leanderisd & @roundrockisd based on false allegations about "X-rated" material available. More thoughts & links ahead in thread.

Wk 12 Takeaways:
1. World of streaming / e-materials continues to evolve, so don't make assumptions in purchasing!
2. Use box office and hold stats to inform decisions
3. I need to take some kind of 101 Workshop or Intensive on Manga... Any ideas classmates? @GLIS_739 #glis739

Can anyone think of one? #glis739

[Rebecca Breslaw @RebeccaBreslaw]

Another thought - I'm all for quirky and defiant protagonists, but the 'one lone hero in the face of madness' makes me tired. What about positive representations of collectivism? Thinking specifically about The Giver here... #glis739 @GLIS_739

@MarisaKuras Yes! I’ll be posting to videos tomorrow 👍🏽

"I wrote ["Out of Darkness"] for brave, big-hearted readers ready to face some painful aspects of our country’s history. I believe it should be available in libraries that serve teenagers.”
