The world needs less hate and fear-mongering and more LeVar ❤️🌈

Hoping this happens in NJ. We need the same in CA, the worst state in the U.S. in terms of school librarians in schools 50/50.

What is wrong with Tennessee?

Another win for our youth!

This is great news!

It was such an honor to host the great Grace Lin at the Aptos MS library. Her new book is fabulous.

Of course! We are part of the very best this country offers! We don’t want to lose it.

Help! Act now!

I knew they would come for Carla who is our first librarian(not business person) in this important role. Congress- stop this firing!

Tea, cookies, author visit @ lunch with Gary Whitta, sci-fi, screenplays, movies, graphic novels”kick out your inner critic and get writing what you want!” Love School Library Month!

This is what fascism is folks- get active- hurry.

ELIE MYSTAL: “This is what fascism looks like. I don’t know what y’all expected it to look like… People are being abducted and disappeared from our streets. These people haven’t even been charged in court.” 🇺🇸

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically. #UniteAgainstBookBans www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

Get up and out April 5th Bring your wheelchairs, walkers, skateboards, rollerblades, ALL of us!

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

If the Serbians, Romanians,Hungarians,Italians can get into the streets to object to authoritarian regimes, it is our duty to join them

Fascism is here and doesn’t play! Well, start activating defense of our libraries. Go!

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

🚨NEW🚨Last night the President signed an order to gut IMLS. Call your members of Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries. It's time to Show Up #ForOurLibraries: bit.ly/ALA-LibraryStoryIMLS

Collaborators with the fascists.

Everyone needs to get active if they are not already.

We had a blast hosting the Denman Middle School Zine club to our Writers Club today. We were so productive.

Gracie the juvenile gray whale still educating our Ss with Mission Science workshop educators. Lucky library.

Gracie the juvenile gray whale skeleton is in the library for two weeks to educate hundreds of middle schoolers. Lots of questions… thanks to Mission Science Workshop educators.

At the California Young Reader’s Medal banquet to honor the authors of “I Ain’t Dying with You Tonight” at #4CSLACON so honored to be a Teacher Librarian.

If you don’t cry… A heartfelt support letter to youth who have lost their home/school to the LA wildfires. Middle Schoolers are THE BEST!

Penpal letters ready to send to E. LA penpals. We can’t wait to hear back from them.

Students typing up letters of love, hope & resilience to students in LA who lost their homes/ schools and more.

Writing to students on our old school typewriters who have been burned out of their schools, home & communities. We care!

Ready for our cursive handwriting lesson.

Getting our first penpal letters from East LA was thrilling! We can’t wait for the next round!
