Maybe we should change today to Read FOR America Day. There’s no democracy without literacy. #booksky #libsky #edusky

NEW: ALA strongly denounces new federal book banning legislation introduced in Congress, HR 7661. As ALA President Sam Helmick said, "Parents, not politicians, should guide their children's reading." Call your Rep and tell them to oppose this new bill. More from ALA: www.ala.org/news/2026/02...

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Did you know thousands of books have been banned nationwide in the past year? And the book banners are getting sneakier in how they do it. I've RSVP'd for this virtual event to learn more. Join me and let's learn how to stop this censorship! social.redwine.blue/s/1bCMqxjB #booksky #libsky #edusky

Please take action!

Lawmakers renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, which would block millions of Americans from voting. It failed before — and it must fail again. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

“There are book challenges; that is not new. What is happening now is brazen breaking of protocol on a scope that has never been seen like this.” @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social @la-cac.org @oif.bsky.social @uabookbans.bsky.social deadline.com/2026/02/the-...

Love this from amazing author/illustrator @peterhreynolds.bsky.social #booksky #libsky

I can’t quite see it yet but I hope this is the anthem when it comes.

This Book Riot article breaks down key legal fights shaping the freedom to read, from whether libraries can ban LGBTQ+ books to major state censorship lawsuits. These court battles will influence what stories stay accessible in schools and libraries. bookriot.com/court-cases-...

Fear and disinformation are being used to silence people speaking out against ICE. We’re choosing action instead. Join us on Monday, January 12 at 7 PM ET where we’ll come together to process what’s happening, support one another, and talk through how we can protect our communities.

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

We will remember your name, Renee Nicole Good. #booksky #libsky

Remember all those dystopian novels we blissfully read, knowing that nothing like that could ever really happen?

A poem for our times, by Hayley DeRoche

youtu.be/wu9QSeAI22I If you have not watched this, do. It is imperative for understanding.

Thank you @librarianjones.com for continuing to speak up! I’m so proud to be a librarian and so impressed by how strong we can be! #librarysky #booksky

21 states made it official this week that they want to steal your First Amendment Rights of free speech away from you. No one is coming to save us, y'all. WE need to save ourselves. The story + concrete action steps here: buttondown.com/wellsourced/...

“Authoritarians gain power when citizens stop paying attention. Visit your local library, check out books, and keep reading. If we stay unified and informed, we can ensure reading w/out restriction remains the foundation of our democracy and a fundamental freedom for all.” time.com/7341120/book...

It’s a perfect day to share this as I had the privilege of seeing “The Librarians” last night. If you have the opportunity please watch! #libsky #booksky #edusky

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

So to be clear, this book is unacceptable but grooming and trafficking 15 year-olds isn’t that bad? Just making sure I have it straight.

🙌🏻

Love this so much! #NoKings #libsky #booksky

This #BannedBooksWeek, PEN America is joining forces with more than 30 groups Standing Together for the Freedom to Read. Together, we call for the end to the authoritarian tactic of banning books. Learn more—and take the pledge to stand together against book bans at: act.pen.org/a/standing-t...

The right to read belongs to all of us, but rights only survive when we defend them. ALA is standing with library workers, parents, and readers to push back against censorship. You can donate to support our work at ilovelibraries.org/1984. Censorship is so 1984, but supporting libraries is so 2025.

The Jets can’t even get stabbed without incurring a penalty.

Not all that far-fetched #booksky #libsky

Precisely this. Currently reading Real Americans by Rachel Khong. Currently listening to The Poppy Fields by Nikki Erlick. #booksky #libsky

When sports are supposed to be your distraction from the real world but these are the teams you’ve been a fan of your whole life.

Really not a fan of where we are right now, so I’m just going to keep escaping into books. #booksky #libsky

We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Things could be fundamentally different if 1. More people READ and 2. All readers VERIFY what they are reading. #libsky #edusky #booksky

I can’t come up with a pithy comment for this that accurately conveys my feelings, but it’s most definitely not good! #libsky #edusky

I didn’t create this but I believe it with every ounce of my librarian being! #booksky #libsky #edusky

Librarians! #libsky #edusky #booksky

Today in the pouring rain in my suburban LI hometown. #nokings

Been a while since I’ve posted a currently reading but I would be remiss not to mention this during #Pride month! Currently reading 🌈 #booksky #libsky #edusky

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

Don’t underestimate librarians (or park rangers)! #libsky #booksky #edusky

People who never read books now in charge of books.
