Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams and debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why the curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth.

“You can’t force a person to think carefully, enjoy books, digest complex information, or develop a taste for learning. To make that happen, you have to help the child find pleasure in learning—to see school as a source of joy.”

–Susan Engle, “Joy: A Subject Schools Lack”

This conference is offering some great action steps for addressing concerns around “college students who can’t read books.”

Hint: start early to build habits that engage students in reading text for pleasure

As it’s #BannedBooksWeek, my thoughts turn to the people in the world fighting for our freedoms. I previously sat down with #Sacramento Public Library Director & CEO, Peter Coyl. @petercoyl also serves on the @ALALibrary Executive Board, as well as being an Intellectual Freedom Round Table councilor & a member of ALA’s Intellectual Freedom Committee (to name just a few). Peter leads the charge for diversity, Inclusion & Social Justice. I’m beyond privileged to know Peter. Watch the full interview 📚➡️ https://t.co/jc4riJ4GMV
