This is why I volunteer with Reading Partners. This is why I fight book bans. Authoritarians and fascists are terrified of educated people. People who know about history. People who have been taught critical thinking skills. People who READ.

In 1930s Germany, books targeted for burning were those considered subversive or those that represented ideologies opposed to the ones espoused by the govt at the time. Just 5 years shy of the 2030s, here we are.

of course there are some who deserve to be replaced, but there's also a lot of media suppression and CONGRESS IS BIG

When the administration says "needs of the American people" as their reasons for or against something, don't read it as anything but their specific breed of what they believe an American person is -- and it is probably not you.

A majority of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump’s handling of issues related to colleges and universities, according to a new poll, as his administration ramps up threats to cut federal funding unless schools comply with his political agenda.

One of the highlights of my career was meeting Carla Hayden at the National Book Festival. The event was featured in School Library Journal. I cannot believe he fired her. For what??? Being awesome? 😌

We waited so long for an actual librarian to run the Library of Congress! Carla Hayden deserves so much better. So much love to my LC pals during these horrors 📚

Calls are going out for those near Newark to come to protest that the mayor was just snatched by dhs and Ice.

People need to get out into the streets and stand in solidarity now bsky.app/profile/heyl...

President Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden Hayden, who became the first woman and the first African American to serve as the Librarian of Congress when she was appointed in 2016, was abruptly fired via email late Thursday.

I'd been wondering when Trump would get to the Library of Congress. 😬😬😬

I hope we're all contacting our reps or taking whatever action is our jam.

May is #GetCaughtReadingMonth! There's nothing better than spotting students immersed in a great book. How are you celebrating the joy of reading this month? 📖

Whatever Dr. Hayden is doing today, I hope she knows librarians everywhere are outraged over the injustice of her termination and grieving the loss of a remarkable leader.

Yes, please do

The American Library Association praises servic of Dr. Carla Hayden, decries 'unjust dismissal' of Librarian of Congress. [Image of Dr. Carla Hayden standing in the stacks in a library]

NEW: ALA salutes Dr Carla Hayden for her exceptional service to the nation as the Librarian of Congress. We are deeply disappointed in Dr Hayden's abrupt & unjust dismissal last night, an insult to the scope & breadth of her work.

Three states attempted to close their State Libraries this legislation season and they've been staved off–so far.

That, plus this week's roundup of book censorship news. Note that the roundup does not cover all of this week due to travel and it's still very long: bookriot.com/state-librar...

A timely quote from Dr. Carla Hayden: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.”

Dr. Hayden has been such a transformative and inspiring Librarian for the past decade. If you haven't had the privilege to spend time with LC staff, you may not realize what a sea change she brought to our national library. One of the all-time greats. A huge loss for millions and millions.

The brilliant writing captured the attention of my “hard to engage” 5th graders. This reads like lyrics to a song. Students then wrote about their identities as THEY see them and as others see them.

The life of a school librarian… half our time spent convincing you to borrow our books, and the other half desperately pleading with you to bring them back!
