I'm grateful for @nytimesbooks' thoughtful review of Louder Than Hunger. This line means everything to me: "There is no glorification of anorexia here; Jake's misery is apparent from the first page."
@JasonReynolds83 I’ll never forget the story you told of your father in your Zena Sutherland lecture. Utterly captivating, masterfully woven, beautifully told as ever. Wishing you comfort in your memories of his goodness and his life. ♥️
There’s no other way to look at it: the results of last night’s elections across the country broke decisively for libraries. EveryLibrary tracked 40 public library funding measures, and in 95% of them voters approved the requests, often by wide margins.

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.
