I meet and talk to so many people who believe that ALL school librarians do is check out books and put them back once kids return them. Here is just SOME of what they ACTUALLY do. And not on this list: foster a lifelong love of reading. And what could be more important than that?

@mtfreepress If you don’t think it’s going to go your way, cheat. Classy.

SOS Christi Jacobson blocks 1000s of ‘inactive voter’ signatures https://t.co/EHHdDLYMla via @MTFreePress
“Invalidating legitimate MT signatures for purely political reasons is an absolute abuse of her office and the trust Montanans place in our elected officials,” (J. Mullen)

@manga_librarian Definitely will add to next year’s list! Appreciate what you do and your expertise!!

[Anne @AnneRussey]

This is a must read for anyone who cares about public education in Texas. Relevant, relatable and really, really important.

@jzimnycricket So beautiful!! 😍 How does one get started?

@bookgirlb @kelseybogan We do back top right—tip and scan! And they rarely cover the blurbs if they are close enough to the spine.

@kelseybogan There’s an Australian author, Asphyxia, with a visually awesome book and Deaf rep: The Words in My Hands.

[Becky D. @librarybk]

@kelseybogan Awesome! Are all the books checked out to teacher? Are they for room only or able to go to individual kids?

[Becky D. @librarybk]

@kelseybogan We give away books from First Book Marketplace book boxes and also a staff member comes in to help families get logged into the parent portal (IC), so that gets us lots of foot traffic!

@coastielu @kelseybogan @StephDisneyFan I agree—if you already have a box fan, you can get 4 MERV 13 filters fairly cheap (Home Depot gives a discount on HDX filters when you buy 4). A roll of duct tape and some cardboard and you’re good to go!

@jzimnycricket What about some genre terms— high fantasy, magical realism, alternate history…?

[Becky D. @librarybk]

Way to go, Lewistown!!

@melissacorey Agreed on the sign holders! And little bendable book display easels—I swear we order 50 or 100 and then they are somehow all out again the next year!

[Becky D. @librarybk]

43 or 44 states have the exceptions for these professionals/places that MT currently has—because schools, libraries, and museums aren’t the same as convenience stores selling “dirty” magazines. Let’s be real and protect our rights.

[ACLU of Montana @ACLUMT]

HB234: revising obscenity laws to enable expanded gov't censorship in our K-12 schools, libraries, & museums. 44 states for 49 years have protected these specific staff members from censorship. We can't let Montana join the cruel minority. Read more: https://t.co/rZ2nd0ZTMn

[MHRN @MTHumanRights]

Say no to HB 234, which would set Montana museums and libraries up for frivolous lawsuits based on people’s personal objections to materials. Click for more info and an action form! https://t.co/GeBniLspBP
