Hey, friends, I am not going to see that stupid X on my screen, so in 24 hours I will be deleting the former Twitter. I'm liking threads quite a lot.

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

Is it too much to ask that the trustees who are most prone to grandstanding for the camera turn on their mics when asking their grandstanding questions?

I love love love that Trustee Bocelli asked about homeless people in the discussion of non-resident library card fees. #NMDL

[Susan Dove Lempke @sdl2003]

Trustee Botello not Bocelli, autocorrect.

@istudenkov How about Lincolnwood, Igor? Tiny but very nice!

1/ Good morning.

If any of you are still bamboozled by Nancy Jacobsen and Mark Penn's @nolabelsorg's actual intentions let me hook you up.

They claim to be moderate, centrist problem solvers who are running a 3rd part effort to "give Americans more choices."

@eliotosherman1 Remind me to never get on your bad side, Eliot!

Trustee Drblik insisted on a staffing study in 2015, but refused to ever discuss it because it called for more staff. Now she claims she never got a report on whether we accomplished the recommendations. Hahahahaha #NMDL

An inspiring message from one of the NMDL staff on the role of libraries

The real grooming

Gun violence is now the leading cause of death of children in America.

I stand with the #TennesseeThree

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

- Child molestation
- Domestic violence
- Corruption

Those are issues that DO NOT rise to the level of expulsion from Congress in Tennessee.

But protesting gun violence after a deadly mass shooting can get Reps Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson expelled.

I stand with the #TennesseeThree. ✊

The Niles-Maine District Library is about to have a great board with a very decisive win over Makula and friends. Hooray!

[Students Demand Action @StudentsDemand]

We’re walking out of school on Wednesday because we’re fed up with thoughts and prayers without action. Fed up with the gun industry innovating to make guns deadlier. And fed up with guns killing our generation.

Organize a walkout at your school: https://t.co/t34Zgo8PKS

A 9 year-old girl lost her life trying to pull the fire alarm to warn other students in a mass shooting. Yet, a congressmen from her state the very next day said ‘there’s nothing you can do’ and basically said that’s why he home schools his kids. The 9 year old had more bravery.

[Susan Dove Lempke @sdl2003]

Good news!
