Text from Brittany Belka reads, “My son has went to the library and has checked out each of these books at different times and walked around saying "I'm just like Mychal the Librarian mommy!" And then will ask to watch the episode that matches the book so he can read along with the story as it's read. Mychal, you are a true gift in life and you continue to make a difference everyday! My son is neurodiverget and was scared to go to the library because he knows you have to be quiet and it's hard for him to do so. Once he heard you say he is welcome to all libraries he sprung into action and begged to go to the library! Thank you for all you do and continue to do. You are a light in our home and we admire you and Reading Rainbow 🌈 “

This comment means the world! The library is for everyone. For autistic you, ADHD you, dyslexic you, neurodivergent you 💚

It is difficult for some to use a library voice, to whisper. THAT’S OKAY. You belong in the library, we will work together. I admire YOU 😊

Take a look, it’s in a book 💛

Hope everyone had the chance to vote today.

Food banks will be able to do more with a cash donation than a donation of food. They can buy in bulk and get way more stuff than you can for the same dollar amount.

But if you have an emotional need to give something physical, a few things to consider:

It’s been a beautiful day to watch the Cubs play the Rockies. #Cubs #goCubsgo

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com couldn’t agree more.

Trump has eviscerated real solutions to address this crisis while simultaneously pushing his “guns everywhere” agenda.

How dare we call ourselves a free nation when our children live with the possibility of being shot and killed at any given moment?

Target thought we weren't paying attention. They were wrong.

SAME! Ridiculous! August 18,1920 set the path.
