I was interviewed for this! thanks to @riderstrike.bsky.social for writing such a fantastic and informative article!

Coop Bicknell interviewed librarians across the country about how the latest Executive Orders and lists targeting LGBTQ+ are affecting students' ability to read age-appropriate comics.

Coop did a very thorough job explaining the current challenges we’re facing in the field, and I’m glad I could provide some insight! There other amazing librarians quoted in this piece, and I encourage everyone to take a look! @bespokelib.bsky.social, @st741.bsky.social.
