@ConnieBeckham Here it is in all its corntastic glory 🥰🌽 Thanks again, and here's hoping corn kid will lead us to victory!

@ConnieBeckham Thanks so much! It should be finished on Monday so I'll post it then 🥰

@ConnieBeckham Basically we're doing a pumpkin decorating contest and my department is doing a corn kid themed pumpkin, lol. But if you don't feel comfortable with us tracing the outline and eyes, we completely understand and won't use your art.

[Haley Miller @Haley_M_Miller]

@ConnieBeckham This is amazing! I'm a children's librarian at a library in Illinois, and I was wondering if I could trace this and create a construction paper version to decorate a pumpkin to raise funds for a new front desk. With credit to you of course :)

Seems like Trader Joe's violated the Natl Labor Relations Act by firing someone for speaking up w/coworkers for better working conditions

@_AmAsian Just the people and their contact information. I also usually include their relationship to me (i.e., former supervisor at XYZ)

A.4. The beauty of an inquiry-led learning experience is that students are given the autonomy to guide their interactions with new information based on their personal interests and goals. This is a perfect environment for students to practice their right to read texts and 1/3

video is fascinating, and Yang’s emphasis on making it without the use of chemicals is a much-needed view-point in a society where we attempt to streamline everything, even at the cost of our health. 5/5

A.3. I would like to highlight one particularly salient resource from the Food Insecurity and Food Culture pathfinder my classmates @g_trupp, @ameliaowdom1, @abbigailmcw13, and I created for our #is445 class. This resource is the 111th episode of the 3rd season of 1/5

Thank you to you and your group for highlighting this resource! I can't wait to read it and recommend it to my patrons. Sometimes, to really have a message sink in, you need to hear it from someone who looks like you, and that's just one reason I am so drawn to this book. #is445

A2) #TheOtherFWord is one of my *favorite* resources from our #BodyPositivity Pathfinder! The sheer diversity of contributors compiled by ed. @misskubelik for this intersectional examination of fatness as a joyful (not shameful) identity is a boon to any library collection #is445

like this one. They need to see how rich and varied people’s relationships with food are in different cultures so they can develop respect and empathy for experiences that differ from their own. #is445 3/3

A.2. What the World Eats by writer Faith D’Aluisio and photographer Peter Menzel would be a wonderful addition to any youth library collection that strives to offer diverse materials. This book features intimate stories and photos taken of 25 families from all around the 1/3
