"Librarians strive to ensure that every child finds themselves represented on their shelves. The choice to engage with that story remains a personal family decision. But discarding someone else’s story is not the answer." Chris Harris

Many of the people banning books in libraries are pretending to be concerned parents.

But it turns out that many of them don't even have children or they don't have children in the school district where they are banning books.

@kathyschrock Fantastic Kathy! I've found the need to use the Wayback machine regularly for my website and Decades LiveBinder to save history sites I've been sharing for years. This is a very valuable tool.

I can't begin to understand the invasiveness of this, but we all need to be aware of the control minorities are trying to place on all of us in all phases of our lives.

Angry parents in a VA school district say they can't access the school's online portal unless they answer a question about their child's access to "explicit" books in school libraries. All because a loud minority is unhappy about LGBTQ characters in books.

When I first created binders I uploaded content tab by tab not realizing if I had spent time with the Help Guide I might have saved time using Upload File Management. I also use the tool to delete what I no longer share keeping it a clean tool to work with.

[LiveBinders @LiveBinders]

Have multiple files you want to add to a binder? Save time with your upload manager. You can upload and add files to a binder all in one location. Find out more: https://t.co/o40jA7Qpc5
