‘They said I should be purged and killed’: The librarians who stood up for free speech share.google/uGJuWksGZRCo...

And remember to thank your librarians. These folks have been under horrible verbal attacks, both individually and as a group for the past year. And they keep on doing amazing work! Our communities are better because of them.

I can’t even. If you’ve asked “what can I do about book bans?” please leave a comment on this atrocious proposa.

Libraries nationwide are joining @bklynlibrary.bsky.social's Books Unbanned. “That’s really what the library is about. The freedom to read..We respect that everybody’s different & everyone’s got different needs. And it’s not our business to tell you what to do with those books” #UniteAgainstBookBans

Those who have #BannedBooks have never been on the right side of history.

Happy Book Birthday @laurenkerstein.bsky.social HOPE RODE @unionsquarekids.bsky.social Illus. Becca Stadtlander #KidlitMegaFeed #Skybrarians

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Honoring Berta Hader, Mexican-born American illustrator in partnership with her husband, Elmer. Between them, they illustrated over 70 #childrensbooks, writing about half. The Haders won Caldecott Honors in 1940 and 1944 and won the Caldecott Medal itself in 1948.

In honor of HOPE RODE's #bookbirthday on 8/12, I'm lifting up librarians, booksellers & creators. @natashawingauthor.bsky.social author of THE WIRE ZOO Illo Joanie Stone, pub @simonandschuster.bsky.social would like to #liftup #Poudre Libraries in Old Town #FortCollins & Old Firehouse Books. #kidlit

It’s official! We’ve raised more than $40 MILLION for independent bookstores since we launched in 2020! 🥳📚

Here's a great banned books resource center from @mackidsbooks.bsky.social and the entire Macmillan team. Lots to dig into here, including ways you can get involved and stand up for the #FreedomToRead.

No country has ever increased freedom and liberty by banning books - www.bookbanpetition.us

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Boosting this for good measure. To quote the CNN piece: "Homan accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of creating “a sanctuary for criminals,” adding that neither are exempt from potential arrest." This should alarm the hell out of all of us.

Well, this is not good news for the #kidlit world--or for the US in general, of course.

I finally had a chance to read this. Everyone should. Neil Gorsuch did not read this book and should honestly be ashamed of himself.

Hello US… are you watching ?

Get a library card. Stay informed. And save libraries so you can continue.

Trump is attempting to destroy federal funding for libraries. EveryLibrary made it easy to take action today! action.everylibrary.org/saveimls2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social #stopbookbanning

I love seeing coverage of comics for kids. (Tho for the love of Tharg, can we stop saying comics are a gateway to reading, THEY ARE READING). Here's to publishers learning the right lessons and not just "any old comics will do" www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... #KidLitUK

You had me at banning words.

Why The Poet X Matters: Elizabeth Acevedo’s novel-in-verse empowers teens to find their voice, embrace identity, and navigate real struggles. Banning it silences stories that inspire. Let’s fight for the freedom to read! #freedomtoread #LetThemRead #ThePoetX #BannedBooks #OwnVoices
