@BarringtonStoke @anthonymcgowan Just finished Lark and the Truth of Things and loved it, so powerful. Just wondering if the new editions have the homophobic slurs edited out? I would love to have these books in our school library but the slurs give me pause.

@kelseybogan This makes me sad

[Rachael Reads @rachaelreads_]

Why. WHYYYYYYY.
Hey librarians, when you start at a new school and see that the barcodes are all in the same spot, why would you decide to put them in a different spot? No one likes that.

@kelseybogan Haha me too, sometimes I wonder why things get done a certain way in libraries 😂

[Marion George @its_maz]

@kelseybogan Looks great. Do you find the barcodes on the front a pain when doing stocktake? Having to pull the whole book out to scan I mean

@kelseybogan What does a flex schedule entail?

[Marion George @its_maz]

@kelseybogan That’s what we need. We only have circs from students who come in of their own accord

@kelseybogan I’d be lucky to check out 1400 books a YEAR! That’s amazing! Would you say having dedicated library time helps?

[Marion George @its_maz]

@kelseybogan Year 9’s especially want it? They always go for DOAWK. I just want to be able to have more than 10 books on our “Funny” shelf… Middle grade novel have funny up the wazoo, it’s not fair

@fivecentsplease @kelseybogan I worked somewhere that had both learning stairs AND an atrium 😂

This is horrific, and don’t think Australia is immune to this insanity either…

[Max Lewis @MaxLewisTV]

@johngreen For those wondering, here's a little background on this. The book was removed as part of an extensive review of all the book's in the library's teen section. That review was ordered by the library board after a new "age appropriate" policy was passed.
