@jonathaneig I haven't opened the playlist, but is this song on it? Because this picture book has me singing and listening. https://t.co/yduYTByZPs

Was it an accident? Or is this author the all-knowing man I know him to be?

Please join me in signing the petition against any legislation that would criminalize libraries, education, and museums by removing long-standing defense from prosecution exemptions under obscenity laws. https://t.co/rdEH6Z2Myx

I need your help! All donations are being matched TODAY & these books are so needed. Any amount is helpful! https://t.co/O1kIK514mK @CTULocal1

Holy. Shit. What a brilliant, horrifying cover.

I resent the funding situation at CPS which leads to the elimination of vital School Library roles. Especially when those roles are filled by outstanding mentor librarians!! If you agree, please consider signing this petition: https://t.co/CzwBsSwwor

Literacy Teachers recognize the value of a staffed school library! Not sure why my district still starts budget savings in school libraries. https://t.co/kMdNUCal5C

@MrSchuReads @CpsLibraries the LFL had a great week at Hawthorne!

[Lies Garner @lvagarner]

@BVGrover @MrSchuReads Our school's LFL is in AKR's memory b/c she lived nearby and was good to us -- amazing author visits, shared ideas, inspired all...

[Lies Garner @lvagarner]

@BVGrover @MrSchuReads She lived near our school and not only gave one of our best author visits ever, but checked in later and shared ideas with us!

[Lies Garner @lvagarner]

@MrSchuReads I will save one to place in our LFL on Amy's birthday along with my regular AKR contribution. 😁

[Lies Garner @lvagarner]

What a wonderful surprise from @MrSchuReads !! Can't wait to figure out whose hearts need these books!
