    I want to remind people that school libraries have been in existence since the 1940's at least. And never, have school libraries, been subject to "parental permission," special restricted shelves, removing 40-100 book titles, etc. NEVER.

    📚 Reminder - School librarians are the ones who delivered books curbside, who celebrate your child reading their first picture book, who teach children about doing research. We are trained and experienced educators who care about children. #lovealibrarian #FReadom

    It appears student protestors in Central York, PA have gotten the attention of their school board and books may soon be put back on the shelves. We love seeing students have a voice, like our Tx Leander & Katy students @cameronjsamuels @benhodgestudios

    A reminder, even though school is out in Texas(and elsewhere) your school boards are still meeting. Keep an eye on their posted agendas so things don't slip by. Defending intellectual freedom is a year round effort!

    👍Here's what school librarians do: teach information literacy, introduce students to authors, support research projects, help students with technology, plan reading activities. 👎Here's what school librarians don't do: indoctrinate students. @UABookBans @TxASL

    We want to point out for non Texans, that Rep. Matt Krause, who created the list of books that has caused so many problems, gave up his Tx House seat to run for Tarrant County DA, and he lost that primary tonight.

    When we support representation on the shelves of the library, we aren't undermining families, we are supporting ALL of our community's families.

    Libraries are places where students have access to a diversity of ideas and to library staff who support their learning and literacy. Every student deserves that.

    Absurdity - if libraries were really trying to "indoctrinate" students, would they really buy a few books and make them voluntary reading and then put them within a collection of 15,000 other books? Most inefficient method ever.

    Librarians, as you all start going back to school and reopen your libraries, we celebrate your work --connecting students with ideas and texts that matter to their lives. Your work matters.

    We applaud the parents fighting against this and hope other Wisconsinites join them. We have materials on our website for how to write a school board.

    Wisconsin school board members dismissed a book on Japanese American incarceration during World War II because it created an “unbalanced” account of history, outraged parents say. trib.al/fd3PtU6
