SAVE YOUR LIBRARY! Your library is more than just books—it’s the heart of your community—a place of learning, discovery, and connection for all ages. But now, it’s at risk. A recent executive order issued by President Trump takes away vital funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Thank you @pbbuds.bsky.social 🍦 it's been an amazing year of Ice Cream Everywhere!

TORRIBLE PUNS: A COLLECTION OF PUNNY POEMS is listed as one of "9 Poetry Titles to Inspire Young Minds" by the School Library Journal! www.schoollibraryjournal.com/story/review... #picturebook, #poetry, #puns, #pbbuds, #writingcommunity
