@LadyHawkins Like why can’t I watch @itvnews without the YT algorithm foisting Joe Rogan on me? A real concern

Well done library story @nytimes https://t.co/e1UAxrW3Fh

@veronikellymars Yeah, they are sort of done with being a membership organization and more concerned with attempting to be a policy-influencing one. We’ll see how that goes, their first steps have been fatuous

[Wendy Stephens @wsstephens]

Really disappointed with our professional organizational response to the election. Now's the time we decide to stand up for all Americans' freedom to read? That voting-promotion campaign did not have the outcome you thought logical. It is time to retrench.

@technolibrary @EveryLibrary I do think we need to rebrand, we are the original free speech institutions and can no longer be taken by surprise when certain individuals don’t get that

[Wendy Stephens @wsstephens]

Free speech looks different in 2024. We need to recognize and embrace that, and celebrate the outcomes of the democratic process.

Trusting the ability of children, empowering rather than educating — publishing books for children is “not like half portions” of adult publications

And now for our USBBY friends, with @IBBYINT’s Carolina Ballester and the Astrid Lindgren Award’s Asa Bergman…all moderates by @lawrenceschimel

I knew I loved @Sourcebooks products, but hearing from Dominique Raccah at the Frankfurt Buchmesse about the corporate origins & philosophy is leaving me in awe

Inspiring Future Voters booklist from @wearealsc https://t.co/1PmyYGak2U

I’m really proud of our elementary cookbook collection.
But it really payed dividends this week when a student checked out a book last week, made a cake from scratch over the weekend, and brought in cake for me to try.
BTW, it was awesome. 😋

“This surge in book banning will end only when we collectively demonstrate that book banning will not win elections, cannot win in court, and that attacking librarians and educators is broadly unacceptable.” - stellar piece from Llano’s Leila Green Little https://t.co/XTH1ifnwXU
